David Millard Will (Brief!) and Notes

 David Millard, yeoman. Written 1825. Proved 1831. See note below.

Everything to wife Sarah including the property they live in [testator's estate not detailed any further]. 

Sarah sole executor.

Witnessed by George Cole and George Daniels.

Will transcribed and summarised by Charlotte Day. You can obtain a copy of this PCC will from the National Archives.

Notes: There must have been some delay in proving the will as David was buried in Marlow aged 56 in 1826. He had married Sarah Gray at Marlow in 1791. He was baptised at Bisham in 1769 the son of James and Winifred.

David had Sarah had the following children:

Ann 1791 (buried 1793)

Ann 1794

Mary Ann 1796

Jane 1799 (buried 1810)

Elizabeth 1802

James 1806

David 1809 (buried 1810)

There does not look to be a remarriage or burial for Sarah at Marlow.

Will witness George Daniels was a cabinet maker who lived Chapel Street. George Cole ran a school in Chapel Street. A biographical post on him will be published in the future.
