Probate Index

The first clue to John’s troubles was found while looking for his will. We discovered from his entry in the England and Wales probate index that he died intestate – without leaving a will. The index can be searched for free at probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills. His entry is at probatesearch.service.gov.uk/calendar?surname=boorman&yearofdeath=1963&page=2#calendar.
