Hi All
I want to order a will for someone but I don't have his exact date of death or full address. I do have a copy of the parish register entry for his burial, and I know that he died in Clutton, Somerset and was buried in Risca, Monmouthshire (in the same grave as his first wife). I don't know how long it would have taken to transport a body that distance in those days, so can't work out when he would have died. I could, of course, order his death cert to find this out, but tbh, I don't have a lot of spare money, and don't really need that long term as it's the info in his will relating to his grand-daughter I'm interested in - she was brought up by a stepmother who was my relative. It's complicated, but other wills I have mention this one, and so I would like to get it to follow the thread (if that makes sense).
On previous trips to Kew I seem to remember seeing dates of death on the Probate Index, which of course would help with my ordering problem. Is there anyone out there who would be anywhere near a copy of the Probate Index any time soon and be prepared to look this chap up for me? His name was Job Price, and he was buried on 16th September 1890 in Risca. The burial entry says he died in Clutton, Somerset, and this ties in with his 1881 census entry. He was 79 at the time of his death.
Many many thanks in advance
