Will and administration lookup request (Nottingham Archives)
« on: Sunday 21 August 16 15:28 BST (UK) »
I am not able to get to the Nottingham Archives myself at the moment, and I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to take a look at a will and administration for me? The problem is I am researching a common surname (Wilson) and am not sure if the documents are for my relative or not. I can provide the exact document reference. Any help would be very much appreciated - thank you!

Have you checked the "England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966, 1973-1995" on Ancestry. this should tell you, or at least give a clue hopefully, that it is the correct person. There are 2,505 for Wilson, Nottingham.

Is the document dated before or after 1858?

I'm assuming that it's before as wills after 1858 aren't deposted at local record offices

Sorry I was not clear. The will is from 1801, proved in Retford deanery. I have the document reference. I'm just not sure if it's my relative or not. I would usually just order a copy from the Notts Archives but as I'm unsure I was hoping someone might be able to take a quick a look for me to see if any family members are mentioned. Thank you.

Hi,

I can have a look for you next time I'm in the Archives maybe this week but more likely next week. So post the details or pm me.
