hi the year 1850 Sandra -----Original Message----- From: Ian Sage <sage_gen@tiscali.co.uk> To: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 23 Jan 2011 12:36 Subject: Re: [B&S] wrong names on will You don't give a date, but presumably this is some while ago. I believe hat present practice is that the legacy goes to the person intended, rovided that this is reasonably well established. I have vague memories f case law where someone left a last-minute will which read something ike "All to Mother". His wife successfully argued that he referred to er as Mother, and was awarded the estate.

So this will would be proved by the church courts. Sorry - no idea what the practice was at that time. Ian On 23/01/2011 13:01, w.a.t.d@talktalk.net wrote: > hi the year 1850 > Sandra > > > > >
