You won't find the full details of a will online you would have to buy a copy of it

Thank you...she left her brother John a baker to administer her effects. I wonder why as her son was 18.
I still have not found where he went after she died. I hope it was not the nameless young man looking for farm work in an earlier post. There it mentions "Dunk" which is where Eliza worked before she married! sonya

Thanks for posting the link Chris. I haven't worked out how to do that yet on an iPad.

At that time the age of Majority was 21, not 18 as it is now. So the son would still have been considered a minor.
