It certainly doesn't provide for any children from a first marriage, as he makes that very clear when he says that if his wife, Harriet,  dies his money and property are to be divided amongst his surviving children of " her body begotten " Thus effectively stopping any other children claiming.

If you want to give his son's name and date of birth, someone might be able to find him for you.

Thanks for your help. I think someone on the London and Middlessex forum may have found his death but his name is James William Whitehead born 1821 in St Marylebone. Died between 1855 -1871 if you can find any different.

not sure the one on the other forum is the right death record so still a mystery as to when he died.
found one in Italy but not sure if its him or not.
