1849 Will of Thomas Orrett, of West Derby, near Liverpool who died 10 April 1853,.

Property left to two of his (three) sons appears to have been conditional that they paid sums of £400 and £80 respectively to the estate. No sum required to be paid for the property left to son 3.
All 3 sons have to raise an annuity to be paid to their mother  of £10 8s/per annum from each son on the property left to them

From the estate £100 each for 2 married daughters to be invested In Trust, income/interest to be paid to them.

£200 to be invested In Trust for a grandson income/interest to be paid to grandson when he reaches 21 (and before that can be used at Trustees discretion for his maintenance/education).
Specifies that should the beneficiaries die, the Trust income to be passed  to any surviving children.

(Total of £400 to go into Trusts)

Anything in the estate, after the above investments are made, to be divided amongst the 3 sons, with the eldest getting the first £160 and the balance to be divided equally between all 3.

Will proved 29 September 1853, personal estate and effects sworn to be under £200.

Am I right in thinking that the setting up of these trust funds would exclude these amounts invested from what was deemed to be his ‘personal estate and effects’ (and, presumably, taxation) ?

If anyone wants to look I transcribed this into bite sized chunks (notes in red are my attempt at interpreting it)

I have a Jane Shepherd born 1809 +/- a couple of years ,EDIT perhaps up to 5years +/- birthplace consistently given as Litherland
I believe that Robert Shepherd and his wife Mary are quite possibly her parents but have not yet found a baptism for her or any of her brothers, Edward, James and William. Also not found a marriage for her parents. From at least 1833 the family were in West Derby.  Its not clear if the children would have been baptised as RC or Anglican, her 'possible' father at least has Papist on his burial record, though Jane's own family after she married were all baptised as Anglican.

Details of what I know about Jane and her family are below, its prior to 1835 I am looking for, I have Jane and her parents sorted from then onwards and am working on her siblings. If anyone can point me in the right direction to find more about her parents I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

List of what I am sure of:
1835 15 November - marriage Robert Harrison & Jane Shepherd,  St Nicholas, Liverpool
1841 census   Jane Harrison age 25, born in county, Piece 520, Book 8, Folio 20, Page 11 Prescot Rd, West Derby
Next door are  Robert (40) and Mary (45) Shepherd plus Edward (15), James (15) and William 8, all born in county
1841 12 July,  Robert Shepherd died (have dc), age 48, buried 15 July,  Walton on the hill, burial record says ‘Papist’
1851 census  Jane age 36, born Litherland  Piece 2192, Folio 746, Page 14, Prescot Rd West Derby
Jane’s mother, Mary Shepherd, 66, ? maybe should be 60 ? is now a widow, born Sefton and she and her son William (18) born West Derby live with them.
1853  26 February  Mary Shepherd died (have dc), age 60, buried 2nd March Walton on the hill, no mention of religion on record and was signed by the Vicar, so assume she was Anglican
1861 census  Jane age 47, born Litherland,  Piece 2735, Folio 105, Pages 12 & 13, Prescot Rd., West Derby
1871 census Jane age 59, born Litherland, Piece 3849, Folio 34, Page 26, Prescot Rd., West Derby
1881 census Jane age 70, widow, born Litherland, Piece 3713, Folio 69, Pages 27 & 28, 17 Derby St West Derby
1888 25 July, Jane Harrison died (have dc) aged 70 (lost a few years), widow of Robert, last address 4 Springfield St, West Derby, home of her daughter who registered the death. Buried 29 July 1888, St Anne, Stanley burial record says 79 which is more likely.

1901 census 4 House, 4 Court, Prince Edwin St., Everton, Liverpool
Piece 3481/ Folio 179/ Page 26 / Schedule 126

Jane Aspinall, widow, aged 44, Head (and only occupant), born Liverpool

as well as being faded, the enumerator's check marks obscure the first of the two words.

Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks

I have a burial of a Mary Catherine Bond,aged 60, buried 20 July 1920 in the Parish of Wavertree
(full image available on ancestry)

I can't decipher the name of the road where she had lived and don't know enough about the area to make a guess.
If anyone has any idea I'd be very interested.

Thanks
