Registers from 1796 to 1858 have been indexed. These indexes are useful for locating wills and admons probated between these dates, even if you do not know your ancestor’s residence. Estate duty registers contain the deceased’s name, heirs, and executors as well as the court at which the will was proved. They sometimes include information not given in the original will. | Registers from 1796 to 1858 have been indexed.
