Derbyshire wills

We hold Derbyshire wills for the period 1858-1928.

The surname indexes provided in the more information section on this page, will help you identify any wills that might be of interest. Then a quote for copying can be obtained by emailing us at record.office@derbyshire.gov.uk.

We also hold registers of administration granted for the period 1858-1875. A separate index (opens in a new window) to these is also available. Historically, Derbyshire was part of the Diocese of Lichfield, so pre-1858 wills and administrations can be found at Lichfield Record Office. Post 1928 wills are held at Nottingham District Probate Registry.
