I can answer my question myself - no, it is not searching by date of death for pre-1993 records, still asks for year of death and then searches for year of probate instead.

Still not getting any results.

I can't get any results for Telford 1894 despite seeing the entry on FMP.

I like "Was the person a solider" on the search results page.

It wasn't computerised pre 1993: you had the books, rather than the microfiche. Probate has always been a leetle bit slower playing catch up than other government departments.
Elizabeth, the page IS there: searching for Telfer will find it. (Goodness knows whether this is an introduced glitch, or an old one)

Yes, I know that, Phoenix. It was just when you said you can search by date of death now that made me think they must have indexed the older records.

Thanks!
I'm not getting on well with this. I still have no email to reset my password and it won't let me request another. |

It's still telling me to add a Folio Number when there isn't one!
Edit: typing in None seems to work. |

It gives an example of how to express a date:
"What was their date of probate? For example, 25 03 2007" I entered 15 03 1884. Then I get the following message: "Error:03 is not a valid month" Edit: I went back to the page and the error message was still showing. However, I pressed the "Add to basket" tab and it worked. There is no rhyme or reason to this. It seems to be a mater of pot luck whether it works or not. Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 07-02-22 at 21:35. |
