Obtaining 1811 will, Rothwell Yorkshire

[ElizabethHerts]

The National Archives have the will abstract for William Wrigglesworth of Rothwell, who I believe was OH's ancestor.

From experience, these abstracts don't give many details.

Where would I go for the full will:

Might be worth having a look at British Origins, which has a lot of Yorkshire wills.

Thanks, Mary, I should have gone there first.

I get very stuck with North Country wills, especially Yorkshire ones. I'm much better at locating wills for ancestors in the south.

I have found some wills and I can order them via the Origins website.
£10 per will so far.

Would it be cheaper to go direct with the reference I have found?

[Mary from Italy]

It should be possible to order direct from the Borthwick Institute, although I haven't done it myself:

Thanks, Mary. It looks just as cheap getting them via Origins.

Did you find the will listed on Origins? If not it'll most like be at Leeds Archives, and I understand lots of their probate holdings are being prepared to be put on Ancestry.

BTW i've order wills from Borthwick and Origins, the former has always been cheaper.
