Sarah Poole 1835 Will
« on: Wednesday 01 March 23 07:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I'd like to  ask for some assistance with the 1835 Will of my Sarah Poole of Old Kentish Town, Middlesex formally of Mendham Suffolk. She has left everything to 1) William - I can't work out his surname - of Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury - Ironmonger, 2) John Cavell of Greys Inn Place Middlesex - Law Stationer.

William is the husband of Sarah Poole's daughter Sarah who is also mentioned in the Will along with her sisters Harriet Aldous, Martha Abel, Mary Waller & Catherine Poole and grandson Henry Theodore Cavell.

I would be most grateful for any assistance offered in solving William's surname.

She has left everything to 1) William - I can't work out his surname - of Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury - Ironmonger, 2) John Cavell of Greys Inn Place Middlesex - Law Stationer.

Just to point out that she hasn't left everything to these two people as individuals. The estate has been left to them Upon Trust. As Trustees, it was their duty to manage the estate and distribute the bequests in accordance with the will. They are also two of the three Executors of the will.

If you need help with reading the rest of the will, you can post a transcript of the parts that you've been able to read and others may be able to help fill the gaps?

Hi everyone,

Thank you sooo much. I would never have thought it was a "J". The Robert Poole witness at Sarah's marriage was her older brother.

Warm regards,
Marj

John Cavell one of the trustees was the grandfather of Nurse Edith Cavell. His brother Henry Cavell married Jane Poole a daughter of Sarah Poole testator. Henry (East India Co) & Jane died young leaving Martha Abel nee Poole to raise their son Henry Theodore Cavell mentioned in the Will.

John & Henry Cavell were the brothers of my 3 x Gt Grandpa George Cavell. All born in Bawdsey, Suffolk. Sarah Poole (Testator) nee Strutt was the sister of my 4 x gt grandmother Mary Cavell nee Strutt - Mary Cavell was the mother of John, Henry & George and married to Corry Cavell of Ipswich, Suffolk.

This is why I was so interested in the Will of Sarah Poole and her children.
