My daughter is looking for any more that might be of interest as she has an Ancestry subscription.

I have most of the wills that I want for my family (after numerous visits to the Probate Office). The wills I'm collecting now are pre-1858 and they are much more difficult to locate.

There are quite a few years missing:

Our collection covers 80 years from 1861 to 1941. We currently do not have the books for the years 1858-1860 and there are some gaps for the years 1863, 1868, 1873, 1876, 1877, 1883, 1888, 1899-1903 and 1910-1911. However, we hope to add records for these years as soon as possible.

I should think it will be fairly easy for them to fill in those gaps as the records have been filmed and are available on microfiche.

George James Peers seems to have been a very busy man.
May 1877 he was granted power to administer the estates of his late father & then his late mother.
On 12 June 1877 he got leave to administer the estates of three deceased bachelor brothers of his mother (they'd died 1822, 1843 & 1850)
Then on 10 Sep 1877 he was granted administration of the effects of yet another deceased brother of his late mother - another 1843 death.

I see that when you add the National Probate Calendar to your "quick links" on ancestry it is listed as "England". Not very helpful! I wonder if there would be any point reporting it to ancestry?

Oh blow! I have the basic sub for Ancestry and last night was amazed that I could get access to the Probate Calendar, so did quite a lot of late night searching. Just tried it again, to do some more, and am getting the message that I need to upgrade to Premium in order to see the info. Glad I did the important ones yesterday.

I was able to view the images this afternoon, but not anymore.

I've only found one of my direct line so far on there, have sent for his will. I bet there will be a long long wait, they will be inundated. Hope they've been pre-warned.
