A key date is 1858, when the governance over the probate&nbsp;process&nbsp;was&nbsp;handed&nbsp;from&nbsp;the numerous courts of the Church of England&nbsp;over to&nbsp;one central probate court system under&nbsp;the civil government.
=== Before 1858 ===


<br>If your ancestor died before 1858,&nbsp;probates and&nbsp;administrations&nbsp;would have been proven by one of several possible&nbsp; ecclesiastical (church) courts.  
Before 1858, Church of England ecclesiastical courts had authority for this process. To search for a pre-1858 probate record in Lancashire, follow these steps:

If the latter, look that place up in the gazetteer and see if it is a parish.
