  • Finding a will

    From Geoff@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 6 09:26:40 2024
    Sorry but it's me again!

    I have the following information from Norfolk Records Office. Can I
    use this to look up the original will on Family Search? If so, how?


    Reference code
    ANF will register 1670-1671 fo. 453 no. 17
    Title
    Tanton, Margaret, of Stoke
    Date(s)

    1671 (Creation)

    Level of description

    Item
    Name of creator
    Archdeaconry of Norfolk; ?-
    (?-)
    Repository
    Norfolk Record Office

    (BTW Stoke is actually Stoke Holy Cross in Norfolk!)

    Many thanks,
    Geoff.

    Hi

    From the home page, search the catalog by place and enter Norfolk.
    Select England, Norfolk and Search.
    This will give a list of record types,including probate records.
    Selecting this will give 21 types of probate record issued by
    different offices. Some of these are viewable online, some only at a
    FHC. Registered will copies for 1871 are one of the FHC types.

    I didn't check all the possibilities, but there are indexes, extracts
    and inventories for various years

    It isn't available online.

    see

    https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/475115?availability=Family%20History%20Library

    You can view the will in the Norfolk Record Office in Norwich or buy
    a printout (£20 minimum)

    Otherwise I think you should be able to order a copy of the microfilm
    to be sent to your local FamilySearch Library so you can see it there?

    Many thanks for the information.
    Geoff.
