Dumfries to Guildford mystery is it a brickwall buster?

Hi Pam

I found him in Lancashire on the 1861 - he was a flannel merchant. Obviously took after his father, or inherited.
It was about 2.30 and i was getting tired so didn't note down the ref.
I'll look again now.

Woof!!!!  300 people!

Definitely want that will then!  If he was monied then he may of scattered a few farthings to other members of the family and it could mention lots of relatives.

So how do I get an 1880s will in England?
