   I do not know about UK wills, but in the US, if you go to the first    
   couple of pages in the book you will find an index of the book.   
      
   This is not the transcribed index, that I am talking about, but the    
   index placed in the book by the recorder's office when the will was    
   originally recorded.   
      
   You find the first page of each book by using the number of images in    
   the file, and the number of books/volumes in the file.   It there are 3    
   volumes and 900 images.   The first page of Book one will be in the    
   first pages after image #1,  the index for Book Two will be in the first   
   several pages after image 300, and Book three in the first several pages   
   after image 600.   
      
   You may have to look at the page numbers in the image, and adjust    
   accordingly to get the first page of the book.   If the page number in    
   image #300, is 450,  then the first page of the next book will be in the   
   images above #300.  If 10 it will be in the images before #300.
