Surname of Elizabeth
« on: Saturday 17 March 18 03:21 GMT (UK) »
This is a will dated 1795.

States married daughter Elizabeth ...field.  Any clues, I thought Mansfield.  Nothing coming up with a marriage or anything afterwards for Elizabeth Headley to a Mansfield, or other various spellings.

I found it.  It is Mansfield.  She married somewhere totally different to her birth place. ;D
Pays to do a wider search.
