Nivard and Gillian, I have to comment on this. I once asked someone who was going to a Yorkshire record office to obtain a copy of an administration (pre 1858). The RO told him it wasn't worth it. I insisted, and when it came it had with it a copy from a Manorial court roll, plus another paper giving the names of two children that we didn't know about. One Administration I ordered from Cheshire came with a Tuition Bond attached (again pre 1858). I'm not saying that this particular admons is going to be that helpful, just saying that you never know what you might get.

Hi Anne I should have added that proviso instead of just that it was unlikely to add anything The chances are slim that there is any additional paperwork but as you say Anne, its certainly worth checking Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Nivard and Gillian, I have to comment on this.
