Looking for William Fynney Johnson (of Leek, Staffs) died 1838-1862

As I said in reply#1, the whole Will cah be viewed on Ancestry. If you dont have a subscription yourself, but are in the UK, then most libraries have access to Ancestry.  Or Local Record Offices usually do too.

Also, the PCC wills that are on Ancestry are usually from the National Archives site. I havent specifically checked to see if this one is there. But if it is, those Wills can be downloaded for a small fee. I used to do that on and off, before Ancestry obtained them.  Not difficult or expensive.

Now that I have a copy of the will, I just face the small challenge of reading it!! How spoilt we are in this "easy to read computer generated text" age.

Thanks Gortonboy

Where have you seen the "notice in the Blackburn Standard newspaper dated 26th June 1850 reporting the marriage of Thomas Fletcher and Mary Ann Johnson,,,daughter of Ralph Johnson Esq of Leek,Staffordshire......niece of the late William Finney Johnson Esq of Fountain Villa,Cheetham Hill."?

I have finally managed to "officially" connect all of the people mentioned and this would a great addition to my research.
