I'm trying to find any will or probate left by someone on my tree; the problem is that I can't find his death so am falling at the first hurdle!
This is what I know:
Henry Dalby married Harriet Rawson probably in the 1830's, probably in Leicester but I haven't found the marraige either. Harriet's family were from Leicester.
Henry's only census appearance is in 1841; his name is mistransc on A******* as Henni Dolby (!), living in Cresent Head (?) St Mary's, Leicester, with his daughters Maria age 4 and Fanny age 1. He is shown as a "scholar", age 30, and born in county.
Henry and Harriet also had a son, Henry James Dalby, born in Leicester in 1838. Henry snr's profession on the birth cert is given as Solicitor. I can't find Harriet and Henry jnr on the 1841 census (though both were alive).
By 1851, Harriet was not only widowed, but she was a woman of means. Her children were at boarding schools; Harriet was staying with a family in Busheywood, Herts. In 1861 she was staying in Bloomsbury, and in 1871, with a neice (Emma Rawson Uglow nee Marshall) in Devon. She was described as a "proprietress of houses" and I don't know if the Hertfordshire and Bloomsbury addresses were owned by her - the other occupants aren't family as far as I can tell.
So it seems that Henry died between 1841 and 1851, maybe in Leicester, and left Harriet a wealthy woman, hence my interest in his will. Can anyone help me find a death or any record of any probate etc?
(NB there was another Dalby family including a Henry living in Foxton, Leic at the same time - this is a different family!)
Many thanks for any help.

I think Harriet and Henry are on 1841 at
HO107 600 18
Enderby Leics
Harriet Dalby 30 Ind
J. Charlesworth 20 Ind
Henery Dalby 3 Ind
Ellen Fewks female servant
John Fletcher male servant
Anc have lumped them together with the Norman family above, but I think the Dalbys are actually a separate household.
