Lancs OPC question.

[Uncle John]

I think Cumberland is too far north. Westmorland and Lancashire are more likely.

Have you looked on British Origins for possible wills, Libby?

[HarrysMum]

Morning Kate...just stumbled out of bed....

I looked on Origins a few months back...Not since.

I will have a cuppa and try to get my head around the names shortly. 5am here and I'm still yawning....lol

[HarrysMum]

Just thought I'd check the PCC wills in case one of them defected south...

Will of Myles Sawrey 1791 looked like it could do with a quick look. Thirty-five pages!

I can't see that one on TNA? Where did he live?

[HarrysMum]

Merry....I love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's Agatha Sawrey's brother. Page 3 says my sister, Agatha Kirkby....

Kite...Plymouth, Devon he lives. See, you can't just look in one village for this lot. They are off all over the place.

Now, give me strength...just downloading 35 pages will probably finish me off, let alone reading it.

[HarrysMum]

It's only 14 pages. No idea why they have 35 as I got to page 15 and found somebody else in the side column.

[kiterunner]

Ah, it says 1796 on TNA site, and 18 pages.

[HarrysMum]

It was proved 1796 and written 1791 and has 14 pages.......I hope. lol

I am absolute rubbish at these PCC wills. I can get one word out of every hundred. I will have to print it out tomorrow and wade through it very slowly. I can see he mentions Dorothy and Jane. I think that will be Jane Derry who lived in Plymouth....was married to Richard Derry.
