Leicestershire / Re: John Pole b.1829
« on: Tuesday 22 March 11 22:59 GMT (UK) »
Update and......ooooops!!!
Well....I've found the will mentioned above. It's dated 6th September 1827, and it was proved at London on 26th September 1836.
It's the will of Charles Scarborough POLE of Leicester, Carpenter. which is more or less as we'd expect.
It then says "I give and bequeath all and singular my household goods and Furniture debts And Personal Estate and Effects unto my dear wife Mary Pole"
which is one of the problems that I mentioned in my first post - Mary not Elizabeth! It also questions whether the family at Stamford Street in the 1841 census is the right one - unless the Charles Pole in 1841 is the son? It's the only Francis I've been able to find that fits MY Francis though.
Then there's something of a twist; Yvonne mentioned that the various Poles tended to stick pretty rigidly within their own trade circle, which would suggest that the executors would be likely to be from the building trade....but no - he appoints Richard Seddon (Lace Manufacturer) and John Toone (Collarmaker) as Executors and Trustees to deal with "All that My Messuage or Tenement with the Workshops Out
Buildings and appurtenances thereto belonging now in my own occupation situate and being in or near Halford Street in Leicester aforesaid and all other my real
Estate whatsoever and wheresoever "
to be held in trust for the benefit of His wife Mary until her death or remarriage and also for
"my child and children viz William, Charles, John, Jane, Henry, Ann, Eliza, Elizabeth, James and Francis or such of them as shall be living at my decease when and as they shall attain their age or respective ages of twenty one years equally to be divided between them"
So as you can see, the family COULD be the one at Stamford Street in 1841, but could quite possibly not be. Some names fit, but some don't.
Perhaps either your database Richard, or Yvonne 1980s history, may be able to shed a little light and point me in the right direction?
