The Exeter Probate Registry was destroyed in by bombing during the Blitz in 1942. A project to trace and reconstruct as much of the information that was lost as possible has been ongoing.
An index of more than 132,000 records of probate documents from Devon, and, to a lesser extent Cornwall, is fully searchable FREE online at http://www.origins.net/NationalWills/Search/devon/searchdevonwills.aspx?
Thank you for this.
