I'm busy mopping up the wills of siblings etc of my main lines. It's very satisfying. It's hard to justify spending money on the wills of people who are not my direct family, so access to these records is very welcome. Also, I have found deaths/burials for people after finding their wills.

Yes, I've been having a look at one or two that I wouldn't have bought.

I'm just going to have a look....I may be some time! I generally only looked at Wills online when visiting Kew as it cost nothing there and was a way to fill in time while waiting for documents to be delivered.

Ancestry are now showing this in the "new databases" and they have an advert for it on their home page.

This is helping no end with my Dry family! Loads of wills to read in that line. I could do without Benjamin Dry's will of 1719 mentioning "my son Benjamin Dry by my first wife Mary" and "my son Benjamin Dry by my now wife Elizabeth". And those were his only two surviving sons, so it's not as though he had so many sons he had run out of names to use!

Do you think there could be a connection between the fact that ancestry have announced this database and the site going extremely slow this afternoon? Glad we found it before today!
