Title: Missing Person
Post by: higgles on Tuesday 20 September 11 16:23 BST (UK)

There is a person mentioned in my 3x great grandfathers will who appears not to be related to the family and I would like to find out more about him, but I don't know how. The only information I have is his name and his role in the company. Any thoughts on how to progress?

Assuming he is now deceased (which seems likely if named in such an old will) why not post the information you have here and see whether Rootschatters can help?

Thank you. His name was William Lynch and was the commercial clerk at the brickworks owned by the Briggs family in Cheetham, Manchester. Any help in finding out about him would be great.
