1847 Ancestry. 1 x will. 3 x deaths of which 1 x London & 2 x Lancashire.

In 1841 census was your man the one in London?

Just to say I had a look at the original and AG's transcription and all I can say is bravo AG :-0

Thought there might be a problem even though GR is supposed to support the 2mb size.

I've now taken a screen shot and pasted into word which I'll send. If you can print it off and rescan you can get it up to a legible size.

Thank you ArgyllGran for the details of George Tattersall's will, much appreciated.

Also thanks to Chris for the added info.

Hi DET

And I appoint my said wife sole executrix of this my Will and hereby revoke all Wills by me at any time previously made.

Like DetEcTive I couldn't try to decipher the original. He was a warehouseman and there is an Anne Tattersall mentioned.

GB - the result came up in the recent addition -

England & Wales, Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills, 1384-1858

But they start at 1858
