   Applying for a copy of a Will   
   14 Jul 22 23:30:29   
   
   From: NemoNews@hotmail.co.uk   
      
   A man died in 1852, leaving a Will.  Probate was granted that year by   
   the Consistory Court of Chester but Administration of the estate was not   
   completed.  The National Probate Calendar has an entry showing this and   
   that Administration (with Will) was granted in 1887.   
      
   I tried to order a copy of this Will online by using the Government's   
   Probate Search Service website but not matter how much or how little   
   information provided the search is unsuccessful.   
      
   Is there any way round this to order online, or must I go through the   
   faff of downloading the requisite form, ordering by post with a cheque   
   (I just about remember when we used to use those!) and waiting for maybe   
   4 weeks?
