	I've just, today, ordered the will of my 2x great grandfather from 1888. It will be emailed to me for £10.00. I wish I could get other certs emailed to me as a lot of our post is mis-directed to the Cayman Islands instead of the Canary Islands.
	Researching: Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

I found my relations probate and name of the child he had fathered including the parents names. Previously, I had absolutely no idea of either the child's christian nor surname. Without finding this info on the Probate, I would never have found the information.
