Going through older posts and came across this one. By now you might have been able to find more information but if you haven't done so the following might be of interest.

"Probate of the Will of Robert Jackson late of Carnspindle Islandmagee County Antrim Farmer who died 8 July 1907 granted at Belfast to George Alexander Jackson and Luke Jackson Farmer." See www.proni.gov.uk for full details including the transcript of his Will from the Will Book.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you so much for your interest, Aghadowey. I had already accessed the marvellous resource in the Wills images now online. In fact , through the wills images I found the answer to the puzzle of the two Isabella Donaldsons mentioned in an earlier post. In fact, the two were one and the answer was that there were two James Bradfords. One married Isabella Donaldson and left her widowed and she then married James Bell. The other married Isabella Napier and that Isabella obligingly left a will that supplied the explanation!
