Well the good news is I now have four pages of DM's handwriting and enjoyed his spelling very much! Also his request for a funeral, "with as little parade and expence (sic) as decency will allow"
It's a good job I didn't need the will to prove any relationships though, as all he manages is to say he has a living wife and living children who are aged under 21. That's it. His farm and shop were worth £400.
There was one thing I've not seen on any other will though - that should his wife choose to remarry he would then give her £50
She never did!
