Ann who was foreign
Ann married William Randle, appears on the 1841 census, and dies before 1851.
She is a friend's ancestor. One branch of the family says she came from Amsterdam and got to England, pretending to be the ship's captain's daughter, while her parents were hidden in the hold. This is the family in 1841: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...hlights=%22%22 Several generations called their sons Reynier - usually pronounced Rinear. I have found this will in 1857, naming a sister Hannah, and neices and nephews George, Raynier, Elizabeth, Hannah and Mary. Being round hand, I cannot be sure of the surname: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults It's under the rest and residue bit. What do you think? This is (to me) the clincher: Reynier Taylor in 1851, born Amsterdam: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...hlights=%22%22

It could, of course, mean nothing, but when Elizabeth married, an Ann Taylor was a witness:

I can't view your census links as I haven't got an FMP sub at the moment, but could the surname in the will be Kendall?
Edit - just read post 1 properly and realise you probably wanted it to be Rendall! But looking at the first letter of what must be Kershaw on the first page of the will, it does look more like that than the first letter of Reynier.

Okay, I think it says Kendall in the will and is a mistake and should say Randle!

Wow, thanks, Kite!
A son called George makes even more sense in that context. If I can get hold of the Death Duty registers, they will show the surname in a different hand, which hopefully will say what I want!
