I recently requested a search for the will of Samuel Bray d. Mar 1721 at Hadeing in Woldale, Kirkburton from Borthwick Institute in York. Unfortunately, unlike my other requests from them, this was a negative result.
Now, I am almost certain that Samuel would have made a will, as he died in his 60s and left behind nine children from two different wives. He also seems to have owned a few different properties, which is why I'm surprised that no will was found - he seems to have been the ideal candidate for leaving one!
How else can I go about trying to find his will...?
