Hiya Willow
I know it's been a while but I'm finally in Worcester and had a look at that Will.
George Nutting of Evesham Gent being of sound mind etc direct that my funeral expenses and debts be paid and make this my last Will and Testament 19.5.1829.
To Jeremiah Scott of Evesham grocer and Joseph Cooper of Evesham flake dresser my household goods,plate bedding,linen,china,monies and securities for money estates ,effects at the time of my death to hold in trust and for the absolute benefit of my dear wife Mary Nutting to take rent,issues and profits of all Houses ,lands and other herediments belonging to me on death for her natural life and on her death to be sold at public Auction for the best remittances possible and to distribute between my five daughters and grandson.
Sarah wife of John Spencer of Evesham bricklayer
Lucy monk of Evesham widow
Elizabeth wife of Thomas Pearce of Evesham grocer
Maria wife of John Tompkins of ~Evesham Victualler
Ann wife of Francis Glover of Evesham cooper
grandson George Taylor of London bookbinder son of my late daughter Mary Taylor share and share alike and not to subject to the control or debts of their present or any future husbands they may in future have.
If any should die before my dear wife's death then their share to be shared between the other children and grandchildren share and share alike and if after her death then to their child as the parents would wish.

Proven 5.10.1831

Hello Ciderdrinker,
Firstly, please accept my apologies for this very late reply in response to your post of 18 Dec 2021.
Thank you very much for the information, it certainly helps and confirms some of the info I have.
I suppose I should have started a new thread for this response (if I knew how) as it is moving further away from the original subject. I shall try and figure out how to do this but in the meantime I wanted to answer/comment on your post, as follows:
Jane Anne Tolley (nee Scott) was baptised All Saints, Evesham 12 Jun 1812.
There was another daughter, Elizabeth who was baptised at the same place on 2 Sep 1807 (interestingly the BT's have her as Phoebe), she married John Knight.
The John Scott, enumerated with Jeremiah for the 1841 Census Bridge St, Evesham is most likely John Scott Knight, his grandson. The age is about right and he is not with his parents for their census entry.
On his marriage to Mary Arkless, Jeremiah says his father is Jeremiah Scott, a mechanic - Jeremiah (senior) appears to have worked at various forges. I have concluded he is most likely the son of Jeremiah and Jane bapt Brewood in 1773. If so I believe I've tracked the family back to the forge at Church Hulme (Holmes Chapel), Cheshire.
In 1838, Jeremiah (junior) is the informant on the death of a William Scott, an Iron Worker, who is buried at All Saints, Evesham - he is most likely an elder brother.
With reference to the 1851 Census for Clap Gate, Hagley - I think that the place he gives for his birth (Cooten) is referring to Coven, Staffs, which is close to Brewood and where I understand there to have been a forge.
Many thanks again for your help.
