Can anyone please tell me how you would find out if someone has left a Will and whether you would be able to view this?? |

Hi following on I have just downloaded a will from the National Archives and am having trouble reading it. |

If it is a bequest to the widow, the word could be relict; that is another name for widow. |

I might have confused things there I said bequest but not sure if that is what it is. I don't think its his widow as it also mentioned William ( her husband) and her surname is Hobbes as she was present at the death |

The will was proved in 1840 and am having real problems disphering it. |
