Thanks for looking!
This is quite complicated, and starts with the will of Hastings Garner of Packington, who died 14 November 1848.
Nephew Francis Garner, son of Thomas Garner, Farmer of Packington.
Nephew John Garner, son of Nathaniel Garner.
Nephews John Garner of Yoxall Staff, and Francis William Garner of Colton, Staff, sons of late brother John Garner.
Brother Thomas Garner and his wife Elizabeth Garner.
Sister Ruth Elton, deceased.
Nephew Hastings Garner.
Sister Martha Sutton, widow.
Sister Elizabeth Garner wife of the said Nathaniel Garner.
----------------------------
OK... Hastings Garner was buried in Packington 17 November 1848, aged 80.
Found his christening in 1768, son of Hastings and Ruth.
Hastings and Ruth also had the following children (who survived infancy):
John - mentioned in Hastings' will. Check.
Thomas - mentioned in Hastings' will. Check. and his wife was Elizabeth. Check.
Ruth - mentioned in Hastings' will. Check. Married William Elton and died in 1832. Check.
Mary - married John Hatchett and had a son Hastings Hatchett mentioned in the will. Check
Martha - married a Mr Sutton. Mentioned in the will. Check.
Elizabeth - married Nathaniel Garner, as mentioned in the will. Check. Had a son John Garner also mentioned in the will. Check.
Edward, died in 1836. Don't know what happened in between, but no mention in the will to him or his family.
So, all the points have been covered apart from the nephew, Francis Garner, son of Thomas Garner, Farmer, of Packington.
I have found this Francis Garner who married Elizabeth Elton who was actually the daughter of the sister Ruth Garner.
So, would Francis still be considered as nephew? He was married to his niece... and the fact that it didn't say "Son of my brother Thomas Garner.." as in the other cases makes me think this is all ok.
*Phew - just writing it down makes it make more sense*. I think! ;)
