Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if I have asked about this before, if I have then please forgive me.
I have the will of Lucy Greasley. She died in Leicester on the 26th November 1862. She was a widow with no children.
She mentions her late niece Ann Willson (two l's) and the sons of the said late Ann Willson, William Gumley Willson, Frederick Edward Willson and Thomas Slater Willson.
However, I cannot find anything about any of these people.
Lucy's maiden name was Slater, and she was born in 1788 in Ashby De La Zouch, Leicestershire. She was the youngest of 9 children.
Siblings:
Mary, born 1762 married Samuel Wilson (one l) nothing further known.
Elizabeth, born 1764 married Edward Grunley in 1785 nothing further known.
Charlotte, born 1772 married William Storer in 1797. Died 1829. No children.
Thomas, born 1774, nothing more known.
Robert, born 1775, nothing more known.
Catherine, born 1778, nothing more known.
Sarah, born 1783 married Thomas Kirby in 1805. One daughter Charlotte Storer Kirby who is mentioned in Lucy's will.
Ann, born 1785 married Matthew Shipley in 1806. Three children, only one daughter Catherine.
Any ideas? I know she might be her husbands niece, but the Grunley / Gumley bit leads me to think otherwise.
Thanks,
Tom
