The new free UK Government website at:
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills
allows year by year searching of the Index of Wills and Probate Records. Each record has the Probate date and location and the Death Date. A separate index for Soldier’s Wills has the Regimental Number and Death Date. In either search an entry with surname only brings up all records with that name for the chosen year.
