Thomas Plumridge bricklayer of Great Marlow. Will both written and proved in 1816.
Says he sick in body but of sound and disposing mind.
The messuage or tenement where he dwells in Quoiting Place [now called Quoiting Square] in Great Marlow and two cottages in "St Peters Street or Duck Lane" [now just St Peters Street. In true Marlow fashion the street had several alternate names used haphazardly, also being known as Bridge Street or Bridge Lane] to wife Charlotte for her life then his executor Thomas Bowen to sell the property and divide the money equally between the testator's children who are then living.
After his just debts settled all his money, household goods, chattels etc to his wife for life then to his children [not named].
Made mark rather than sign.
Witnesses: John Allnutt, John Pearce and George Siegmond.
Notes:
Thomas Plumridge married Charlotte Webb at High Wycombe in 1801.
Thomas Bowen lived nearby in West Street and was landlord of the Red Lion pub. More on the Bowens here.
George Siegmond was a West Street drawing master. More on him here.
John Pearce may be the man of that name who lived a little later in Chapel Street.
