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.
The documents in the more information are available in Portable Document Format (PDF). You can download the PDF software for free if it isn't available on your computer. Download Adobe Reader (opens in a new window) or visit our PDF information page.
