I found on Ancestry what I assumed would be a will/probate for one of my scottish ancestors but when I view it it's
"confirmation of the commisariat of the county of Edinburgh dated 18/6/1883 of Ellen Marion Kerr or Paul the widow..... accepting executor nominate of Gavin Paul....."
Does this mean there is a will or not?
Also any idea why Ellen's maiden name is given as well?
Hoping someone knows about scottish wills!!
Thanks for looking
