Title: Wills - Norfolk
Post by: bhunter on Tuesday 21 April 20 19:42 BST (UK)
Where would I find wills for Norfolk?  I'm looking for the will of James Jempson Allison who died in 1780.  I think his will could be dated 4 May 1772.  I looked on the national archives but couldn't find it.  I would also like to find the will of his father James Allison who died in about 1764 also in Norfolk.
Thanks
B
