FindmyPast updates Northern Irish wills calendars and adds Inland Revenue Irish Wills & Administrations 1828-1879

Newly added to FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk):

Ireland Calendars of Wills & Administrations 1858-1965 (Northern Ireland)
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/ireland-calendars-of-wills-and-administrations-1858-1965

For the first time, you can explore will calendar entries for the District Probate Registries of Armagh, Belfast and Londonderry.

Within this set, we've added 261,256 new record transcriptions, covering between 1921 and 1965.

(Comment: FindmyPast erroneously states on its blog that the update is for "ancestors who died in Belfast, Armagh and Londonderry between 1921 and 1965". For one thing, the district probate registry offices from 1921-1965 covered the whole of Northern Ireland, not just Belfast, Armagh and Derry, and for another, it was only Belfast and Londonderry at work in this period - the Armagh office was abolished in 1921! The records are also freely accessible at PRONI via https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/search-archives-online/will-calendars)
