I would like to know if either of the above had a Will and if so what the particulars are. William died 12 June 1877 aged 77 years and Elizabeth (his wife) died 18 June 1877 aged 80 years. I got this info off their headstone. They are buried in Redmarshall churchyard but may have died at Bishopton, Co Durham (practically next door to Redmarshall). Thank you.

Thanks Gwynn. This will be another £6 well spent as I have found the Wills I send for (and I've got quite a lot) have been invaluable for the information they contain. :-) Well £12 now to include Elizabeths.

William's was an Administration, so I'm not sure how much information that will hold??
