wills in Ireland 1923 death in Castlebar
« on: Saturday 08 December 18 17:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi I have been investigating Irish records today and can see that there is now a lot more on-line than the last time I looked - which is great! I decided to start by looking for 2 wills, one for a death in 1919 and one for a death in 1923. From what I have found it looks like the 1923 will (if there was one written) may be listed on the National Archives site. Although I can load up the site and can see that there is  Castlebar District Probate Registry I cannot get any further into it - can anyone help? The will I a looking for is for a Joseph Edward Prossor who died in Castlebar in the June 1/4 of 1923.

I think it's the calendars of wills and administrations that you are referring to
1923
Joseph Edward Prossor
late of Nephin View Castlebar Co Mayo, Manager
died 30 April 1923
Probate (of will) 21 July, granted at Ballina to Kate I. P. Prossor, Widow
Effects £240 14s. 2d.

There's a short cut to the pdfs 1923-1982 on this page
