Re: Wills?
I used to check the indexes at Colne Library and then order a copy of the will from the relevant place. I don't know if Colne still have all the indexes there (Why they were ever sent to Colne in the first place I don't know) but it would be worth giving them a ring to find out if they still have them or if they have gone back to preston.

Re: Wills?
That's right it was down in the cellar a huge collection but I think Colne Library has just been refurbished so they may have been moved.

Re: Wills?
Just a quick update - the Index of wills and administrations are now on the ancestry website so you can search for a will between 1861 - 1941 on that site.
You have to be a full member for access but this facility is free in all your local libraries Happy Hunting |
