Determine ''when'' your ancestor died. If you aren't sure, use an approximate date. 
3 - Court of the Peculiar of the Dean and Chapter of York


Determine ''where'' your ancestor died. It is easier to find a probate record if you know whether the place where your ancestor lived or died is a [[P genealogical glossary terms|parish]]. To learn whether it is a parish, look it up in a gazetteer. Or use [https://www.familysearch.org/mapp/ England Jurisdictions, 1851 ]to find it on a map, along with information about it. Here is a link to the 1872 ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' online:
