pre 1858 will
« on: Thursday 26 August 10 21:30 BST (UK) »
I am trying to decipher a will from 1853 from lincolnshire england
does anyone have any advice
the term "my best friend" is used a lot on wills   it is his wife and widow in this case  but why not just say who the person is and the relaationship/connection?

Hi,

A very warm welcome to Rootschat.

If you get stuck you can post small portions at a time on the Deciphering & Recognition Help Board.  They are very good  ;D
