Many thanks, that should help with my Norfolk ancestors.

Many thanks. Will also help with my Norfolk lot and Suffolk lot as many Suffolk wills were proved in Norwich Consistory Court. One ancestor of Parham, Suffolk had a will proved in Norwich 1801. NCC.

It is only an index, but does provide a link to the NRO index. Easier than searching on NRO site.
I have just searched it for a rare surname from my OH's tree. It told me that one of his ancestors married by Licence (I had seen a transcript many years ago just showing marriage date and place, but did not know whether it was licence or banns). So a bit more useful information there. However I then checked on FindMyPast and discovered they had image of the actual licence - so need to go to Norwich. And a bonus: The bondsman had the same surname as the groom but from a different village - so a lead on a possible name for father or brother. I wouldn't have thought to relook at this marriage if it hadn't been for this post alerting us to the new record set.
Thank you.
