Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

7271....  This is obviously an MP or someone who knows about an existing will (perhaps hidden with an unknown number of copies) that could put them out of business or a home.   
Many years ago, the BBC had a program that used old wills to find the rightful owner.  Lol..., remember one elderly lady suddenly inherited the equivalent of a tennis court, bang in the middle of Paris.   :)

May I suggest you re-post this with title "Please sign this petition..." which may cause a few more people to look, out of curiosity.  If every Rootschatterer responded...
