Thank you - another one for the Bookmarks/Favourites.

With a bit of luck, it might eventually continue on from the Probate Calender as published on Ancestry to 1966. An actual date of death, if you can find it, is much more satisfying than a Quarter.

Added - just found the deaths of two 'twigs' after 2006 :-D

This is interesting: I saw reference to this in a recent Family History Magazine.
Just tried it and found my Brother who died in 2012, with the probate in April 2013.

I agree this could be a good additional search method.

The site is in 'beta' so will not be 100% right yet.

Saw this site:

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Which has an free online search for probate records post 1996 (I think just England and Wales, but check it out for yourselves)

You do have to search by name and year, and if you do find what you want, you can pay the £10 and send off for a copy of the probate/will details.

I found a probate record for my uncle who died in June 2014 with a probate date of Sept 2014.

Unfortunately you MUST put in a year of death, so would have to do a year by year search if you didn't know that.

Given that online death indexes currently only go up to c2007 , I thought it might be another way to help look for suspected deaths after that date .
