Could it be associated with a split or secession from the church? It was a Presbyterian church of some sort, so I can believe someone outside the church might have referred to them, somewhat pejoratively, as apostates. Another possibility that crossed my mind as "associate", where the first "s" was a long "s". I'm not quite sure what that would mean in this context. Richard

The probate indexes for the Irish Republic from 1923 to 1982 are here :- http://www.cigo.ie/httpwww.cigo.iewills.html as 1 PDF for each year so put the kettle on while each downloads. ;-) That page also mentions later wills going into the National Archives when over 20 years old and being indexed therein. While you're looking for Percy and Eileen, I'll be looking for my grandmother's cousin as I hadn't seen that info before. ** For first time users - in "Find a Will" in probatesearch.service.gov.uk once you get a page found for a surname/year you can step forward/backward by year or page without having to re-enter the year again.
