Just to fill a couple of gaps:

… Alvingham near Louth …

… in consequence of his having lost an arm …

The will was written on 11 (not 7) April 1848

Thanks and RE Anthony hackett's loss of arm. From the Reading Mercury. His gun accidently discharged while using the butt to stop a ferret leaving a rabbit hole. He was 21 years old at the time.
