Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

I have lost the method of finding an index of 18th & early 19th century Lancashire wills proved at Chester but now held at Preston. The Lancs archives website has sent me round in circles.
I am looking for any for surname Baines of Liverpool.
Thanks for usual help found here.

Lancashire Wills proved at Chester, are in book form on the shelves at Liverpool Daggers. By the Probate registers.

Thanks, Katie. I was hoping for an online link, as I have found one some time ago but have lost the plot!

FMP have "Cheshire Wills and Probate" records but I don't have a subscription. A quick look on the free search brings up the following:-

James Baines, Probate year: 1818, Occupation: Esquire, Residence: Liverpool
William Baines, Probate year: 1831, Occupation: Cow Keeper, Residence: Liverpool

Clever girl! you now know how to copy and paste!

I couldn't get it quite right from Google on the iPad so I searched here (our site) until I found it and then copied and pasted it!

Thanks, Blue & Hilary. I must be getting closer now.
