Wills, Inventories on ScotlandsPeople

[runner]

Hi Gadget

Sleep Apnoeia  is the title  I don't have it but tend to sleep my essential 4 hours then must be doing something, anything to keep the neurones active.
Its a good habit Malmo.  Allows you to have direct,(rather than delayed) contact with the Antipodean branches. Meet lots of nice folk.

Hope you enjoyed the Emerald Isle Gadget?

Well! I've had my break. Must get back to table plans/order of service/ photographers/kilts/buttonholes. And this is just a simple wedding!!!!

It also means that Russell and I get to have interesting philosophical discussions at strange times 

Will I live Russell 

Hope you had a good break Russell.

Noticed that your will was for Casphairn. I'd be really interested in those names - might give me some leads.

PM me later if your willing to share

I can’t see anything good about four hours sleep Russell. When I sleep I am to all intent and purposes, dead.
I’ll have a bash on Scotland’s people today. I haven’t used it for ages and don’t even remember my log in name or password.

Yes, it's true, I can vouch for this, I have 6 hours time difference and have come across both Gadget and Russell at some very strange times 

Also agree that Wills are a bit hit or miss but on the whole, well worth the money. I found a really good one the other week which confirmed what I 'knew' was a certain 'connection' but just couldn't prove.  The cost for three out of four ordinary ones is definitely well spent for the fantastic one!

Does anyone know the cost of a dairy cow in the late 1890's? Trying to work out if my 2G's could have started a very small dairy herd on the small amount of money they inherited .....

Hi

I think there was a bit of an economic depression then.

I know the price of that ggg grandfather's  farm implements and livestock fetched in the 1860s but that's not much good. It was a post-will farm sale.

Thanks to all who commented on the benefits of ordering wills / inventories from the ScotlandsPeople website. Mush appreciated.

Hi yn9man

Your last post had me giggling into my coffee.

Mush appreciated

 

I began to wonder if LindsaySiam, Gadget and myself were losing the plot and it showed or if it was a simple slip of the finger

I opted for the latter explanation but it gave me a good laugh too. 

Just to add to our earlier comments. The will I mentioned gave me a clue to some bits of information I already had gathered and since then has led to me making contact with a relative in Australia 

If its a Will not just an Inventory and is more than 3 pages it is certainly a worthwhile bet (even if not a 'safe' one)
It takes about three pages for the Writers to fit in all the incomprhensible legal jargon before they get to the real facts.

What I liked about your Will/inventory, Russell, was the whole list of names - wow was he owed some 
I also saw that poor old Robert Gordon was signing - I have quite a few of his signatures on mine as well AND he signed the release papers for my james when he went to jail
