Lancashire Will Search
The purpose of this page is to aid one in
finding a will
of
a person who died in Lancashire, England from
the time
period of
the mid sixteenth century to the early
nineteenth century.
This resource should only be used as an index
and a search
of
the original probate records should always be
done to
overcome
transcription errors and omissions. A record
found in
the index does
not guarantee that a will can be found
since not all wills were microfilmed
due to the fact that many were lost or destroyed.
Current Record count: 248660
NEW
A new free
online search tool can be used for 1858 to the present
wills and if found you can request a copy of the will via Email
for a fee.
I have used the service and found it very easy to find and obtain
a wills done after 1857.
Make sure to click the Wills and Probate 1858-1996 link when
searching as it defaults to 1996 to present by default.
PDF versions of the old Lancashire wills lists can be found on
the bottom of the Help page.
To use this page just put in a name and if a match is found then
click
on the left most column which will open a new page with microfilm
numbers.
Match your record on the new web page and find the microfilm
number that
covers the name/time period and then visit your nearby
LDS
Family History Center with the film number and order the
film if
not already on file.
