Did you find a reference to a probate record?

==== Step 2. Identify when and where your ancestor died  ====


|-
Determine ''when'' your ancestor died. If you aren't sure, use an approximate date. 
| Barton-le-Cley
| Court of the Archdeaconry of Bedford
| 2 - Pre-1837: Court of the Bishop of Lincoln (Episcopal Consistory)
2 - Post-1836: Court of the Bishop of Ely (Episcopal Consistory)


3 - Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury
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. Here is a link to the 1872 ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' online:

2 - Post-1836: Court of the Bishop of Ely (Episcopal Consistory)


3 - Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury
The gazetteer will either tell you:


|-
*A place is a parish, or
| Bedford Holy Trinity
*What parish it is a part of, or
| Court of the Archdeaconry of Bedford
*What place it is near.
| 2 - Pre-1837: Court of the Bishop of Lincoln (Episcopal Consistory)
2 - Post-1836: Court of the Bishop of Ely (Episcopal Consistory)


3 - Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury
If the latter, look that place up in the gazetteer and see if it is a parish.


|-
Once you have identified the parish, go to '''Step 3'''.
| Bedford St Cuthbert
| Court of the Archdeaconry of Bedford

Most of Bedfordshire was under the pre-1858 probate jurisdiction of the [[Court of the Archdeacon of Bedford|Court of the Archdeaconry of Bedford]]. The majority of probate searches will be in the records of this court and its superior courts, which were the [[Court of the Bishop of Lincoln (Episcopal Consistory)]] before 1837, and the [[Court of the Bishop of Ely (Episcopal Consistory)]] starting in 1837.  The courts should be searched in that order.  The [[Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury]] (and the appeals courts if necessary) should be searched last.
