Some of you will remember I found some wills on the Lancs Will Search site.
Well, they've arrived. Took about two weeks from my sending the letter to the RO till they were in my postbox today. Can't get our mail from one city to another that quickly, so top marks to get it around the world.
Well........they are great!!!!! All the people named as well as names for places, even the fields are named and where the gardens, outhouses and enclosures were. Now to find Harry's Field, Dixon's Field etc.
I can't stress how good wills can be. I think the 5 pounds each Lancs RO want is top value and I'm off to see if they have any more.
I proved 7 x great grandfather was Hugh Addison who died in 1743 as he names all his children and grand children. AND........his wife's name was JANE. Never been able to find that, but now I know where all the children named Jane came from.
As you can see I'm happy.
