Family History Beginners Board / Re: Alonzo Goodhead - Inheritance information

If you look on the probate records website https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/ you should find all wills and adminstrations for England for that date. My brief search revealed nothing - which would suggest that Alonzo didn't leave a Will nor enough money to need an Adminstration. It's possible that his Will was proved much later - that would need a more thorough search. If the estate had a reasonably large value it would have attracted death duties - you could try searching for that - see https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/death-duties-1796-1903/
Might also be worth a search of the London Gazette for official notices - I've had a quick search for Alonzo Goodhead and had no results, but the search engine is notoriously unreliable. See https://www.thegazette.co.uk/
If you can retrieve the newspaper article and quote it for us, we might be able to help as well.
