	From Ancestry about their data base About England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations),1861-1941 This collection contains summaries of the vast majority of probate cases in England and Wales between 1861 and 1941. It effectively forms an index to wills and probate records for this period. Missing volumes: Our collection covers 80 years from 1861 to 1941. We currently do not have the books for the years 1858-1860 and there are some gaps for the years 1863, 1868, 1873, 1876, 1877, 1883, 1888, 1899-1903 and 1910-1911. However, we hope to add records for these years as soon as possible. Sooo.......it looks as if it is not complete. It's anyones guess what 'as soon as possible' means as they've said they don't have all the books.

	Could someone please advise me as to whether the Probate Calendar on Ancestry is complete or is it a work in progress - as in being added to over a period of months/years.... Many Thanks
