Find Ancestors

Wonder if his Estate went to Probate? Does anyone know how to search for those?
Scotland's people only has indexes up to 1925, so too early.
...........

Some info here, but it's unclear if the index can be searched remotely or only in person

Tried looking for his will, couldn't find anything, rather hoping his family is on here somewhere

Have you tried Searching All Member's Trees (top right under 'search') on GR? If he or any other suggested relatives are listed, send a message to the tree owner. They may have further information.

When your subscription runs out & you don't wish to renew, don't delete your account, just allow it to lapse. Make sure that if you change the email address your GR Account is linked to, you update the new details on your GR account. That way if this thread is found by someone who recognises the name they can send you a message by clicking on your name. It does happen :-D

For a more immediate solution, then probably purchasing some of the suggested certificates is the best way forward. It all depends on how many pennies you've found down the back of the sofa.
