Karen, I received a private message from you.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find the will.

Thanks, Karen, I can see the will now. My only new thought is that an inventory was submitted, and I wonder if that has some bearing on the memorial of the will registered at Wakefield.

Hi Watson,

It does seem more than a little irregular being in a different jurisdiction. Devilish to explain.

My initial thought was that it had something to do with the executors being so tardy bringing the will to probate and they were being reprimanded. But that doesn’t explain the jurisdiction either.

Thank you for you help and interest anyway.

This one might have to go into the unexplainable pile.

Warm regards
