Thank you ever so much, that's wonderful! I can't thank you enough for your help and time, I really appreciate it. It continues in the following two extracts, before joining up with the first part I posted. I'm going out for a couple of hours now so wont be able to reply - so don't think I'm ignoring you!

[Dazey999]

I think his address (in the first line of part 2) might be 102 Fenchurch Street??

He was living on Fenchurch street in 1841 so I'm sure that's right. The others loom correct. Thank you ever so much for your help.

[As usual names are the biggest problem - Saker and Naper and the witness surnames are certainly 'best guesses'. I hope all the mispellings are as the original - apologies for any typos I may have added]

Just checked - Naomi Saker, will probate 12 Sep 1948 (PCC). She leaves a small bequest (among others) to Elizabeth Priscilla Munt and the residue &c to Peter Munt, her executor.
