see more at http://www.familia.org.uk/services/england/birmingham.html
Birmingham Metropolitan District Council
Now I have four out of the six wills
one wrong John Jones to reapply for
but they may have mixed up the papers more than 100 years ago
two telephone calls later and it should be ready
Today at Probate Record Centre,
Iron Mountain (UK) Ltd
65 Egerton Road,
Erdington B24 0RR
and my grandfather's will is ready to be collected
The files are all at Erdington since 4th February 2002
Ancestry advertise Historic UK and Ireland Parish and Probate Records ranging from 1538 to 1837 but they are not yet very complete
English Probate Jurisdiction Maps now have Search at http://www.familysearch.org
A complete collection of maps and guides outlining pre-1858 English Probate Jurisdictions (EPJ) will be available online through FamilySearch. The probate records of England are among the best genealogical sources for direct evidence of relationships. They are also among the most neglected sources because of the many variations in jurisdictions which governed the probating of wills prior to 1858.
The EPJ maps and guides provide a wealth of useful information.
Until now, these valuable resources were only available in printed form. The EPJ maps and guides include tips, tables, and color maps. Starting with Cambridgeshire, Essex, Kent, and London, FamilySearch will release the entire collection of maps or guides over the course of the coming months.
