Dear Friends

I posted this on the general forum but hope soemone with Knowledge of London might be able to help.

I am looking for Letter of Administration for Richard Wright please see below.

Richard Wright (Goldsmith) of Henrietta Street, St Pauls, Covent Garden, London UK was buried 28th April 1724 at South Weald Church Essex.

His wife Martha was named as an 'Administrator' (not Executor) she died before administration was granted and their son Anthony Wright (Goldsmith) got landed with the administration: see

'Anthony Wright, goldsmith of St Paul Covent Garden, Middlesex (son and administrator of Richard Wright, deceased, of goods unadministered by Martha Wright his late widow, and executor of said Martha Wright).....

Dear Friends

My grandfather disappeared to Canada at the time of the 1929 Wall Street crash. He lived in Montreal Canada. He died in 1975 whilst on holiday at Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.

How can I find out if he had a Will and how can I get a copy of the Will?

My thanks for any help - I am based in the UK

Dear Friends I have got stuck with my transcription and would welcome help. Below is my effort so far with question marks for words I cannot transcribe and I need help please to transcribe the rest. I do not need the standard parts of the exordium to be transcribed. I will post separately the second image as my file size was too large. Thank you so much. Peter
