Robert Clarke 1758-1841 how to find his will
« on: Thursday 24 October 13 12:21 BST (UK) »
Robert Clarke: Hi team, this is my first blog...so hope I'm putting enough info...Robert Clarke died at Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, 2 Sept 1841. Will written 17 Dec 1841. He was a solicitor for Ashridge Park Estate. I know the will exists. How can I find out if it is at Shrewsbury RO? It has lots of  family names in it, which should help with the family tree. I tried St Catherine's in London, thinking that all bdm docs had gone there. That cost me money for nothing.
Cheers :)

Can you clarify dates - reads as though he wrote his will after he died ;D

Family History is a Pandora's box if you don't like what you see find a new hobby,only concentrate on the proven facts and not the facts you think you know.
