John Saunders (Week 3 - FFFMF)

[Merry]

Oooh, I saw Martha's will listed on FMP and it said Apply to the RO for the doc. However, the will is on Ancestry....*starts reading*

[Merry]

lol Martha wrote her will in 1824, so she lists Ann as Ann Stevens. So, the 1826 marriage for Ann to John Saunders still works!

[Merry]

I think John Saunders is recorded on the grave of his mother-in-law, Ann Stephens, but it's a bit tricky to read.

Yes, it looks like John Saunders to me:

Thanks Kate. I suddenly realised it was probably him because the death was in April which was the first bit I could see!

[Phoenix]

Did Martha leave things to Ann AND HER HEIRS?

The death duty register just might provide those heirs, with the relationships.

[Merry]

Sadly not. She just divides part of her legacy between three nieces and if any should die, their share to be divided between the remainder.
