A man died in 1852, leaving a Will. Probate was granted that year by
the Consistory Court of Chester but Administration of the estate was not >completed. The National Probate Calendar has an entry showing this and
that Administration (with Will) was granted in 1887.
I tried to order a copy of this Will online by using the Government's
Probate Search Service website but not matter how much or how little >information provided the search is unsuccessful.
Is there any way round this to order online, or must I go through the
faff of downloading the requisite form, ordering by post with a cheque
(I just about remember when we used to use those!) and waiting for maybe
4 weeks?

The probatesearch website has been 'erratic' (I am being tactful) since
it's last revamp.

Your solution to applying for the document I wanted was spot on. Pity
HM Gov are nowhere near as efficient. The documents they supplied
related to a person with a difference forename who died in a different
county over 65 years later and whose Probate was granted over 30 years
after my man's!
