I found the following entry via the Newspaper link that someone posted: The Leeds Mercury (Leeds, England), Saturday, May 14, 1864; Issue 8140 WILLS AND BEQUESTS The will of Lieutenant-Colonel Gabriel Burer, of Lymington, Southampton, was proved in the London Court under £20,000 personalty, The executors nominated are his two nephews, Charles Esse and Frederick Esse, Esqrs., and Henry B. Farnall, Esq. The will and codicil are dated 1853, and a second codicil 1862; the whole are in the Colonel's own handwriting. The will is attested by Rear-Admiral Thomas Symonds, O.B. and I. Falls, A.B., clerk.
