How do I get a copy of a will for
WILLIAM BOOTH b.1819 d.? (not sure 1877?)Shropshire
I found this on NA:[no title] 4683/3/11 1877-1899
Contents:
Abstract of title, October 1899, of surviving trustees of will of late William Booth to freehold houses etc. at Saint George's. Recital of will 1 February 1877 (probate 17 Sept. 1880).
Any help appreciated - thank you

This will explain it all
I went to Liverpool Court and filled in the form there, paid the money and it was for the date of 1886 and they sent it to me two days later, I think you can apply at any major City Court as the waiting time will not be as long.

Wills by post are applied for at the York office, no matter where in the country they came from. I know you can apply at the Oxford office in person so probably can at other offices. Have you looked at the probate calendars on ancestry, it should be listed?

GGGgrandfather WILLIAM BOOTH B.1819 d. 1877?c. possibly not sure exactly just piecing together some info' that I found on National Archives...
He ws living in St. Georges, Wrockwardine Wood (now Telford areas) Shropshire. The reference I found was to do with property that he built - houses on West street I think - I'm curious who got the property in the end and more than that try to find any living relatives (i've found a few!)
thank you

no, its the probate index....you can apply to york for the will. Edna posted the link where you can download an application form. the above will give you enough information to apply for it. Costs Β£5.00 (hopefully that hasn't gone up!)

uncle? above man was married to a lady called Ann and was a GROCER not a builder. You should check the last census for his occupation. also check the BMD death index to verify his age, by 1880 it will give you his age at death
his gravestone says he was 72 when he died -

Costs Β£5.00 (hopefully that hasn't gone up!)Β OK will do I will chase the links posted by yourself and Edna... my peeps were multi-taskers - grocers - builders - miners - methodist ministers and farmers with fairly huge families by todays standards...so it gets quite a bit complicated when I am searching for a 'William' as each of the brothers named their son's William - at least 7 generations of them - even my father is called William!
Not as bad as my mothers side of the family who are 'Williams' and we even have a William Williams
oh what fun!

I think it's now Β£6, so better check before writing your cheque.
