Bev, The will was *written* in Nov 1642, which was of course before March 10th 1642. The TNA copy shows Probate granted 1658 but if you read the probate statement you'll see why. I guess it would have 1st been granted soon after her death, but in Bishop's or Archdeacon's court, so that copy will have been lost in WW2.
