On 12 January 1858 a government system of registration for wills and administrations for England was introduced. Several district courts were established throughout the country, plus a principal registry located in London. The ease of finding probates under this system is a boon to family historians. The wills and administrations were filed either in the principal court, that had jurisdiction over the entire country, or in a district court that had jurisdiction over a local area.
The records are available through the office of Her Majesty's Courts Service. To learn more, go to the HMCS website. Indexes and records for both courts are available on microfilm in the Family History Library. The catalog lists dates and film numbers. The films can be searched in the library, or searched locally by ordering through a family history center.
