Further to the recent PALMER threads, just to reinforce what MPG has recently stated, the National Archives website is well-worth searching as they are able to supply Wills by email so worldwide for very low cost from their "online" collection.

I think this is the search page to use, like many search engines I suggest "less is more" and best results are obtained by keeping the search text to a minimum.

Re the PALMERS, the only Palmer Will I can find in the site is indeed for a Mary Palmer, this time "from" Mitcheldean, so possibly related to the nearby Flaxley Palmers ?.

Searching "Palmer Dean" gave seven UK-wide results including:

"Reference:PROB 11/1208/24
Description:Will of Mary Palmer, Widow of Mitchel Dean , Gloucestershire
Date: 04 August 1791
