I have a copy of William Henry's will and he must have had a serious falling out with 2 of his sons Stephen Henry and Noah Daniel as he left them very little and what they were left was not given as a lump sum but in small payments. He did leave a number of properties around St Andrews, I have found a newspaper report of his funeral which makes interesting reading with a number of dignitaries from Dudley attending. If it is of interest to anyone I will put it on the forum.

maybe the two that got left little and in small payment might of been gamblers or drunks and he didnt want his hard work go to waste ?
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
