There is no will. It is an administration of the estate only, can be seen on FindMyPast

Thank you for everyone's help. It has helped me get it all together - I have few things to look up.

I have another theory I want to run by anyone who can help

1822-1845 Mrs Ann Pearsall was licensee of the Horseshoe Pub on corner of High and Moor (now demolished) in Brierley Hill as per Hitchmoughs Black Country Pubs Brierley Hill
1841 census Ann is living in Chapel st a couple of km away with 2 young daughters and her daughter in law.
1849 Pearsall and Son had the Horseshoe pub licence- also says they owned the pub
1851-1854 James Pearsall had the Horseshoe pub licence (I hesitate here as she does not have a son called James - there was a Johns born to a William which was one of Annes son, so maybe James is her grandson? )
1858-1868 Ann Pearsall was licensee of Old BEll Inn

QUestion: is this my ann Pearsall??
 the reason I am thinking all this is that Ann's daughter Mary married Richard Tomkinson and other pub records show

1834-1835 Richard Tomkinson was licensee  Old New Inn in Brierley Hill (and listed before him was Thomas which was the name of his father)
1854-1861 Richard Tomkinson was the licensee of the Bell on Bell Lane -
1861 Census shows that Richard and Mary's family were living at Bell - of this I am sure as the children's names all align
1856-1857 Mary Tomkinson was licencee of Old Bell Inn

Question: Is the BEll and Old Bell the same pub?
