Does anyone know the whereabouts of a place called THURMASTON? I think its in HUNTINGDONSHIRE but not sure which other places it may be near?

Im trying to find the will of a WILLIAM LEWIN of LEICESTERSHIRE and as yet havent found one only a death duty register of a WILLIAM LEWIN of THURMASTON. The years fit but i dont know where this place is!
Anyone help?

Hi Emma,

Thurmaston seems to be in Leicestershire ...

Huntingdon no longer exists as a county Emma. Thurmaston is just north of Leicester off the A607

Description Administration letter of William Lewin, Farmer and Widower of Thurmaston, Leicestershire. Proved in the Court of Leicester. 
Date October 04 1806
Catalogue reference IR 26/373 

The death duty register clearly states proved in the Court of Leicester which means the will is held by Leicester Record Office.
