Following a price reduction in the ‘Find a will’ service in July, when the cost for ordering post-1858 wills for England and Wales dropped from £10 to £1.50 per will, many family historians have taken up the offer and the service has been inevitably inundated. This has led to frustration with the service, particularly as customers have noted their orders aren’t being fulfilled in sequence.
FT reader Ruth Simpson writes: ‘I ordered one will on 11 August and had not yet received it 74 days later, yet I’ve received some ordered later.
