As I got confused I added a test tree on ancestry and not sure about the Fanny, Eliza and Sarah dixon parents that is just a guess, from a marriage record that came up.

It was such a long thread and it has have moved on somewhat from the Larkhams and Bartlett that I thought it might be an idea to start a new thread. For the benefit of other members we just need a short history of what the Bennett/Dixon family with mention of the will I think, would that be a the best way for you to carry on this thread Karen?

I got to a brick wall finding parents. I had thought if Eliza was first born that could be mother's name.
I then checked Ann age at death and think she is first born now. I can only assume that there were only the 2 sisters surviving at the time of the will. But he may have not left money to all especially as they were not his family.
So need to find a sister to Fanny and Mary Ann, and then their parents

I just did a quick search for Dixon and straw in BNA and can see she has a few mentions - I don't have a sub so not able to see full article. There is one that says she has returned from Dunstable, so she must have visited milliners there...just down the road from me.
I watched the BBC program recently Made in Britain ? where they followed trades through the centuries and hats was one.
