Title: Looking for the Will of Robert Bullen d 1808 Dalton Lancashire
Post by: hayler3 on Wednesday 19 October 22 16:03 BST (UK)
Hi All,
Can any advise if it is possible to get the Will of my 5x great grandfather Robert Bullen who died in Dalton Lancashire 1808?
I have a copy of the abstract from the National Archives (ref IR 26/307/260)
It was proved in the Court Of Chester. I have looked for it online in the in the Cheshire Archives but not found anything.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thankyou
Wendy
