Will, 1896

[suttontrust]

I know there's a will of Zachariah Brown who died in Beeford, Yorkshire, in 1896, but it's not on the National Archives site.  If anyone can access it I would be most grateful.

Hi suttontrust
It's not his will, but the entry in the National Probate Calendar

Many thanks.  Quite well off

With the info given, you could apply for a copy of the Will - see http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/probate/family-history for the procedure. You never know what will be revealed (or it might just say "all to my wife" of course)

Thanks, I might.  But as you say, it might be disppointing.
