All the indexes of pre-1858 probate records are included in NROCAT. Some pre-1858 wills were proved by the Prerogative Court of Canterbury and these can be searched via The National Archives documents online web page.
An any text search will locate text in any catalogue field. Personal names are in inverted order, e.g., Smith, John. Post-1857 wills are also held by the Norfolk Record Office but the indexes to them are not included in NROCAT.
Tip: use the date field to limit your results, e.g., 18th century.
