I first looked at trying to find anything on Robert the husband of Dorothy Hillier who should have died after Aug 1685.

I found a will for a Robert Hellier signed 30 Jul 1697 and proved 20 Nov 1697 and a burial 4 Aug 1697 at Osmington which all fit together, however it would appear to most likely be for a younger Robert than the one I was after (hopefully a son of the other Robert?)

This is the jist:

Robert Hellier of Osmington husbandman

Brother John Hellier one shilling
Brother Richard Hellier one shilling
Brother Thomas Hellier one shilling
Kinsman Nicholas Hellier (then a few words I can't make sense of, but is he saying this Nicholas is the son of his brother?) forty shillings
Rest of goods and chattels to:
Brother Nicholas Hellier
Sister Elizabeth Hellier
Sister Mary Hellier

So now I just need to find some baptisms!
