Hi Rose Unfortunately you give the solicitors name but not the testator, so couldn't check for you If the estate attracted death duties there should be an entry in the register which may give you more on who got what value wise at least, it will also show the relationship to the testator If there is an entry in the death duties register index (on findmypast for 1796 to 1903) It will require a personal visit or a researcher at Kew to get the copy for you If the estate was sizeable it might be mentioned in the papers, but they do not usually go into who got what Although its possible some solicitors records survive and have been deposited, its unlikely, if thats what you were hoping for <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/death-duties-1796-1903/> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 03/05/2016 12:12, Rose via wrote: > I have a copy of a Will that was proved on 1 December 1845 in London. > Solicitor was Edmund Sharp - 2 Devonshire Terrace, High St Marylebone. > > The Will lists who will inherit the estate and the executors.
