Hello Everyone,
I thought I would make a general entry about the available will and probate records that I have found online (please let me know if there are others so that the information can be shared).
On the FamilySearch.org site, they have made images from the "Ireland, Calendar of Wills and Administrations, 1858-1920" public. These records, when filtered for the location of Clare, provides over 7,000 results:
LINK. Of course, I'm not listing them all here, but if you are interested you can add additional filters to the search which may assist with locating records on your family. Please keep in mind, that the spellings of surnames come in a variety of forms, so make sure you try all of the possibilities you can come up with... The record I was looking for came up under the name Larner, not Lardner.
-----
Below are the list of searches for known names associated with the surname Lardner, whose Letters of Adminstration and wills were filed and probated in Limerick between 1858-1888.
Please note, I didn't look for the multitude of variations possible for most of them, these are single searches on the most common form of the names unless otherwise noted. If probate of the will was completed in Limerick and filed between 1858-1888, there is a possibility that you may be able to get a microfilm copy (see the microfilm links at the end of this post):
