Hi.
I have just rechecked the death cert and am sure it says Thomas Rice ? If i could just work out how to post it on here i would.

Did Charles RICE leave a will?  As a farmer you would have expected he had some land, crops etc to leave to his children.

Hi Bearkat

he might not have owned the land , he might have only been a tenant farmer. Most farmers only leased the land from rich landowners, I know where I come from the land as been owned by one family for about 300 years , but there used to be about 20 farmers on it , including one of my relies. Not saying he didnt leave a will though

Hi
On Charles's death cert which i have it says he was a carter?
Could this be a mistranscription ? and it should be farmer.
I have checked the will registry and there is not one.
I have also checked the free bmd site and there are no Thomas rice deaths in the stow area for years, ( i know he could have moved, but unlikely as they all stayed around the area ) but there is a death for a Thamar Rice June 1877 Stow s 4a 369.
Will Have to wait till i get payed to get cert as i have spent this moths cert money already.
