Thread: Ordering copy of Will.

Could someone please tell me how to order a copy of a Will. I have references which I obtained from Hantsweb but somehow I cant seem to find out what to do to actually place the order, I just seem to be going round in circles.



Many thanks.

Hi Val



You don't say whether it's Scottish, Irish, Welsh or even English



That would be a starting place for an answer. I can help you in 'God's own Country' if that be the case.

So sorry. Its England, Southampton to be exact.



Thanks.

Hi Val



It's not God's own Country then?



You could try here for starters:



http://www.ukdocuments.com/wills.php...FQyD1QodgVBreQ



or this one:



http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/faqs/fi...l-british/will



There's a lot of info in the second one.



Best of luck ... they make for really good, interesting reading sometimes!

Thanks a stack I will give them a try right away. Wills are very interesting and I hope to find out more about some of these people I'm thinking just grew under cabbage leavesD.



Excuse the ignorance I take it "God's Own Country" would be Scotland?.

Where else?

Hi Val - go to http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1226.htm for information about getting a copy of a will. The first link will cost you more money than you need to pay!

You might also try Southampton Record Office.

Thanks Gillian and Victoria for your advice - much appreciated.

Will also check them both out.

Thought I would mention that I have managed to order three Wills to-day from the Hampshire Archives - only snag was one cannot order them online, and the cost of a Bank Cheque in pounds was totally out of my league, but with the assistance of a very helpful lady at the Hampshire Office I was able to place the order. Now I need to exercise some patience while I wait for them to come via the mail, so I am smiling.
