Need help with a Will

[carol80]

Been trying to read this 1843 will for about 2 months and not getting anywhere. Would really appreciate a helping hand. I will put in up in 3 parts.
Thank you
Carol

It's a big file. I will put the rest up later
Part 2a

[ShaunJ]

It's really neat writing and quite readable. Which bits are you struggling with?

[carol80]

The whole lot    I have cataracts on both eyes and glaucoma in my left eye, both not bad enough for treatment at the moment.  Found this out while trying to read the will and getting nowhere so went to my optometrists. Now on 6-month testing.
