Dear Paul Caswell,
Could you please look up an Edward Marshfield (his caleneder will is stated as Steeple 31 1757) any information would be appreciated.
The Will is available on ancestry.co.uk (indexed as Edward Marsfield) and the details are the same as rjknott posted for you on this thread -
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,583822.msg4363928.html#msg4363928. Edward does not mention his children by name, only that they receive the residual of his estate after his wife has received an 8th of it for her personal use. His brother William Marshfield is described as a labourer from Coombe. As well as his father and brother, his friend William Cockeram of East Lulworth cordwainer is appointed his Executor.
Your local library may well have free access to the library edition of ancestry.co.uk, or you could take a free trial, if you wish to see the full details.
