The Will of an ancestor is appended with the note as follows:
The Right Honourable the President of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division of the said Court having on the 13th day of December 1878 by his final Decree in a certain cause or suit entitled "Henderson against Todd" then defending in the said Court pronounced for the force and validity of the said Will.
It looks very much that a distant relation was challenging the will where Robert Todd left his money to his friends rather than this distant relation. Is there anyway of getting these court records so that I can investigate. One of the witnesses to the Will was a James Wilson Todd who was probably the challenger. Thanks for any suggestions.
