I've tried all sorts of names for the files so hoping this works.

Thanks for those few words so far.  The will is for Charlotte Santiero, posting the link again- http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/5111/40611_309619-00185/75928?backurl=http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/50486206/person/13100810068/facts/citation/120273374975/edit/record

I have done 'snips' in the hope that this will help - can't get them to attach at the moment.  Error message says there is already a file with that name!  I'll keep on trying

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1842 Will

I have been transcribing a family will from 1842 and after four pages my eyes have had enough! Could anyone please perhaps help decipher the words in the photo attached - miraculously the only ones I haven't cracked! The will is that of Charlotte Santiero and can be found at http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/…/40611_309619-001…/75928…

Renfrewshire / Re: Inverkip Ardgowan House
« on: Sunday 29 May 16 10:31 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for any records of Charlotte Santiero who worked at Ardgowan House as housekeeper until her death in 1849.  Her will is witnessed by Adam Melrose, gardener at Ardgowan.  I have sent an email in the hope that there may be records or photos of the staff at that time but, have not received a reply.
Can anyone help please?

The Frank Carlin mentioned in the probate is her son in law, husband of her daughter Doris.  In the 1911 census, John Henry Hunt has the occupation of Water Rent Collector.  A copy of the probate could solve the mystery.  Thanks.

Thanks so much Alan.  This does seem to be tying together.  Could you perhaps help with another query?  My gg grandfather John Henry Hunt b 1872 (Ann's son in law married to Alice) vanishes.  Story his son told is that he disappeared around Christmas.

I do have the probate information thanks.  It helped to confirm the name of Alice's husband who is proving rather elusive.
