Would John Hemmings have a Will
« on: Friday 26 February 10 22:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Would anyone know where I would look to to see if John Hemmings had a will.

He lived Gospelend Sedgley, he died before the 1841 census, on that census Mary nee Worton was a widow living with the 3 kids.

Thanks in advance.

There are 4 wills on the National Archives site at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/search-results.asp?query=first_name%3Djohn|last_name%3Dhemmings&first_date=&last_date=&CatID=6&mediaArray=*&pageNumber=1&searchType=powersearch&queryType=1&sortSpec=first_date+desc
but I don't think any of them are yours.
Leaving a will depended largely on whether someone had property, so do you think John would have had anything to leave?  The local record office would be able to tell you if there's one in their archives.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Hi Suttontrust
Thanks for your reply.
Didn't think it thru, he probably didn't have anything to leave.

Thanks again
