Probate entries 1858 - present can be searched for, for free on
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

If you do need to look up another one, remember to look at succeeding years as they are listed in the year the Probate/Administration was granted, not when they died.

Later ones (from 1966? - 1996) don't name the Executor
1996 - current can be searched by year of death but have very basic details eg Name, Date they died, When Probate was granted, Which Registry, what type of document (Will, Grant or Will & Grant.)

There are 3 tabs - check you've chosen the correct one.
Wills and Probate 1996 to present
Wills and Probate 1858 – 1996
Soldier's Wills

Annie's is listed here

No problem. One thing to remember is that not everyone's Estate went to Probate or Administration. It might be that it was too small or that one spouse Willed everything to the surviving one. .
