'''Principal Probate Registry''' | '''Principal Probate Registry''' | ||
On 11 January 1858, a network of civil courts called 'probate registries' replaced all ecclesiastical probate courts. All wills and administrations are probated at district courts or at a central court in London called the Principal Registry, which received copies of all the district court wills.
