	maybe the wrong office from the nottingham website National Probate Index Coverage: 1858 - 1968 A national index containing summary information about every will or admon proved in England and Wales, including details of the date and place of probate. It is arranged by year, and then alphabetically by surname. Copies of wills proved in the Nottingham Probate Registry between 1858 and 1939 can be consulted at Nottinghamshire Archives. Other wills can be obtained from the York Probate Sub-Registry. Return to top

	There probably wasn't a will. The fact that it says "administration 25/02 to " not "probate 25/02 to " indicates no will.

	If you send off for it and there is no will you get back a sheet which basically only tells you the same information that Maddie gave you above.
