Ordering a Will (online)

[sunflower]

I've found a couple of wills of the Ancestry site but not sure how I go about ordering them.

I've been on the Gov uk site but nothing came up for them.

Thanks

Wills are on Probate Search - https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/

hi
It's a bit long winded to do but it is worth it
Start here
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills
You fill in the name and year and it brings up a page of the index just like the one on Ancestry.
You fill in the order from that and when you have completed the order you give them your card details and it sends a link to your email.
When you receive that message saying they are ready ,you follow the link log into your account and there will be a list of files for you to download.

Ancestry's search form is better than theirs but you do need an image of the index page on their website to order.

Give us a shout if you have problems

Thanks both.

I must be doing something wrong as I have filled in all the details, years etc, but it came up with
No results

ok
Who are you trying to order?
If you have the page on Ancestry try searching for the person either side.Once you get the image up on the Will website you just type in the details of your man instead.

Thanks I may have cracked it.  They are for a folio number where do I find it.

Hi
If it's someone in London or Middlesex it should be hand written next to his name on the index.
Anywhere else you don't need it.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. 
I've order a couple of wills at £1.50 each do I get the full will
for that price.
