Access to East Sussex probate records just got easier with their launch online on Ancestry. As well as wills, these fascinating records include inventories and other associated records which give an insight into the social status of the testator, their property, and details of other family members.

Ancestry scanned The Keep’s probate records as part of a wider digitisation project with West Sussex Records Office. These records have now gone live online.

Access to Ancestry is free at The Keep and all libraries across East and West Sussex. You can also find Ancestry online at www.ancestry.co.uk.
