Same for me, but I am on my tablet.

I've lost count of how many wills I've read through, but of the last six or seven not one gave the first name of the widow or any names for the children and didn't leave anything to anyone else. Witnesses etc meant nothing either. *sigh* Very frustrating!

At least you didn't pay £3 for each of them, Merry!

But how exciting it is when you find one of those wills which leaves mourning rings to a whole load of people - and I've just found a couple which list people to be invited to the funeral!

I have started a thread on Research Queries for people to add to if they want help deciphering bits of the wills.

I don't have any wills mentioning mourning rings, but I do have my 4xg-grandmother's mourning ring from 1790s!

The search facility is very useful as you don't need to put a name at all. You can just enter a place name and see what comes up!

It's certainly easier to search than the TNA site, but I wish you could search by date.
