Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Wright Pickford,b. 1791, Glossop
« on: Monday 12 December 11 10:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Bodger,
I was looking at the will again today and noticed a transcription error. I had thought Edward had a daughter called Susannah. I coudn't find any LDS baptism records for 'Susannah' like I could for all the other children so decided to recheck the will. Lo and behold 'Susannah' is in fact 'Hannah'... Should have spotted that before! Apologies.  :D
Cheers
Simon

Hi,

I have had a good go at transcribing the attached first page will of Edward Pickford, Innkeeper of the Bulls Head, Glossop. He died in 1818.

Records of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 30 December 1818.

Any help with the question marks would be most appreciated!
thanks

Simon Pickford
