Thanks for the information, Denise. I don't need the wills myself, but it is good to see that the archivists may be prepared to copy the pre-1911 ones again for enquirers. However if people are referred on to the Manx Museum library they might find that they end up being told to use a private researcher to do the work, like before. It will be interesting to find out, if Josie gives this a go.
