==== Step 4. Obtain a copy of the probate record  ====
Once you have found an index reference to a probate, obtain a copy of the record. Do so by one of these methods:
*{{FSC|England, Worcestershire - Probate records|subject|subject-id=1259768996|disp=Worcestershire England Probate Records}}(*) at FamilySearch Catalog - some images may only be available at a [https://www.familysearch.org/centers/locations/ FamilySearch Center or FamilySearch Affiliate Library.]<br>
*Visit or contact the record office that has the original records in its collection.
== Worcestershire Probate Courts  ==
Most of Worcestershire was under the pre-1858 probate jurisdiction of either the [[Court of the Bishop of Worcester (Episcopal Consistory)]] or the [[Court of the Bishop of Hereford (Episcopal Consistory)]].  The majority of probate searches will be in the records of these two courts and their superior courts.  However, the following smaller courts also had some pre-1858 jurisdiction within the county. Click on a court name to learn about records and indexes.
