*A comprehensive and county-wide '''[https://www.cheshirearchives.org.uk/family-history/wills-and-probate-records.aspx Wills index]''' compiled by the Cheshire Record Office. This index covers the years 1492-1940 and contains 130,000 entries. It covers probate documents proved at Chester mainly for the County of Cheshire.
*The following Website specifically covers the parishes of Disley, Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley in Cheshire: '''http://www.disley.net'''.
*A new and comprehensive {{RecordSearch|1589492|England, Cheshire Probate Records, 1492-1940 }} is now available at [https://www.familysearch.org FamilySearch]. More information at [[England Cheshire Probate Records - FamilySearch Historical Records]]
