Word of warning on ordering wills at the moment.
I was at the Probate office in London just before the august bank holiday. Missed the one hour service by 10 minutes.... as you do. You can guarentee you'll find a will just after the cut off time
So i ordered it on the 7 day postal service.
It still isn't here !
Spoke to the copy department the other day, and they say they are still working on orders from mid AUGUST !! could be another couple of weeks before they get to the orders from the end of August.
Now i know that York deals with postal orders, but i'm wondering if since the will indexs have been put online by ancestry that they've been snowed under and London are picking up part of the workload.
So be warned guys and gals..... order now and you could be in for a long wait.
My husband ordered some from York just before i phoned about mine from London......... so we'll see who's arrives first, and i'll keep you posted on how long they take to get here.
