Derbyshire wills

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 to these is also available at the bottom of the list of documents listed in the related documents section. 

Historically, Derbyshire was part of the Diocese of Lichfield, so pre-1858 wills and administrations can be found at Lichfield Record Office (opens in a new window). Post 1928 wills are held at Nottingham District Probate Registry.
