Might be interesting to see a full copy of that will.

I've never looked at wills Antie Em, why do you say that?

Had a couple of really interesting ones - full of extra information. One of my ancestors, Samuel Salt, owned the Kates Hill Brewery in Dudley. His will was three pages long - gave details of all of his children, their partners and children, with addresses. It told of the pubs he owned in Dudley and Tipton, I had no idea of these.

It lead me to discover a bundle of papers on his company in Dudley Archives, which contained accounts books, invoices and order books. Even the people he bought hay from to feed his horses. There were three original birth certificates and details of his wife's family, which was news to me.

Another relative owned houses in Tipton

Absolutely tons of extra information on both of them.

In that case, as you said

Might be interesting to see a full copy of that will
