Title: WILLS
Post by: softly softly on Friday 01 January 10 20:53 GMT (UK)
Hi,
Could yougive some advice please. I believe my 3xgrandfather Joseph Hood died c1836 aged 56 in Fullards End?? Coseley. He I believe left a widow Sarah (nee Bagley Morgan). Do wills for this period exist and if so how would I go about trying to find if he possibly left one.

Thanks

John

Hi John

If your ancestor left a will it could be at Lichfield Record Office.

If you can't get there yourself I think they will do a search for you, but you have to pay for it.

Best wishes

Judy
