Hi Dave, I just reread your reply and suggestion to look at the Cheshire records. I discovered recently that my ancestor's will was filed there even though he was a resident of Liverpool. You have explained this to me. I was able to get a copy of the will through the LDs Family History Center, in Salt Lake City. It provided a number of new facts so it was a good find!
