Hi,

Has anyone seen anything about the maintenance to the probate search site? (When they think it will be back)

It has just shown the 'Sorry, the service is unavailable' page for the last few days but no other info.

Search probate records for documents and wills (England and Wales)

I tried to Google  for details but nothing popped up for the searches I could think of.

Thanks

    Sorry it's down for me as well.  Various family history forums are reporting it down from Monday.  Maybe something to do with the massive hike in price that comes into effect today.  I suspect they have been flooded with loads of requests from family historians ordering at the old price.

    £1.50 to £16 - ouch!
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
