Now Lara's found the date of death it turns out his was proved at Lancaster by John Hargreaves Law of Newchurch 25 Feb 1871, effects under £300, hope to send for it (and that of his sister Grace who I'm hoping that as a childless widow will have left little bequests to various relations)
The will arrived - it was executed by his friend John Hargreaves Law, he had left everything to be divided equally between his 6 surviving children John (my ancestor), Joseph James, Henry, Mary & Elizabeth Jane.
