I'm sorry I jumped on here and saw the post with regards to wills and was thinking am I missing something. I am in Australia and have no idea where to begin with regards to the wills in the UK. Where do I find these and is there anything online where I can possibly access (even an index) so I can work out whrere the wills are kept.
I was only aware of the National Archives UK which has some but obviously not all. And from there I have been lucky enough to be able to download some that have been digitised but others haven't. But I have ancestors who were living in Catsfiled / Battle area, Norfolk area, and am researching Ditchingham Manor, and also stumbled on something with regards to the family having been in hold of Kirklinton Hall. I had not heard of this one before but apparently my ancestor was from there.
But I'd really like to try and get my hands on some wills for my ancestors.
The surnames of all listed below were spelt BEDINGFELD / BEDINGFIELD
(it seems this family went from one spelling to another thruout there lives - gets kinda confusing)
Francis Philip1784-1864
Mary Delicia (nee Rose) 1793-1828
Francis Philip 1817-
Thomas Forrester 1818-1897
Charles de Longueville 1819-1859
Eldred Havers 1820-
Norman Bernard 1824-1894
Howard Downman 1825-1896
Mary Catherine STERKEY (nee Bedingfeld) 1816-
If anyone can send me in the right direction on where or how to get some info I'd be most greatful.
