Default Durham Diocese Wills

For any of you folk out there doing family history there is a great new resource which has finally made it on to the FamilySearch website (IGI) after years of development.
Images of all wills and associated documents held in the Durham University Library (pre 1858) and relating to the Diocese of Durham (Durham and Northumberland) can now be viewed free.
A surname search needs to be done on http://familyrecords.dur.ac.uk/nei/data/simple.php which gives you a reference number and that can then be accessed through the search facility under UK and Ireland on FamilySearch. They take a long time to load, but I'm lost already!

A bit more information, the relevant page on Family Search is https://familysearch.org/search/coll...INGDOM_IRELAND and it loads better on Google Chrome.
