I'm sure this has been asked before

How long does it take to receive the Will details after ordering online (from the £10 probate search)?

It's been two weeks now and they state it should arrive within 10 days

Nada

Thanks Flip

Is this sending for a Will by mail before the online service became available?

It gives a ten day timeline and it's downloaded to your account

Yes, before online ordering. But if you haven't got your download yet I presume they haven't improved much!!

Give them another reminder (or kick up the backside), as Jude would confirm she had to keep jumping up and down before getting anything.

I got mine in 8 calendar days - that was in April, by email download.

I've emailed them to ask why

This person's probate was listed 19 years after his death

Another question

How come some probate details appear at Ancestry but do not show on the Gov probate search site?

:-S

The govt site (pre 1996) enters the probate on the year it was granted, not when the person died. Have you checked that?

Sometimes the results opens on a page with a totally different surname - if there is an option for more pages, click on the arrow/page 2. I was looking for Mayhew the other day. Everything but! However, the arrow to the next page did list them.

If it was 1858/later and deffinately missing, then best to let them know.
