Hi Mary, Do you have a copy of his *original* will (signed by him) or just a copy of the recorded version in the will books? If you have a copy of his *original* will, you can compare the signature with that on the three marriage bonds. Also, you can compare the signatures on the three marriage bonds to see if they were 1, 2 or 3 different individuals named Edward OWEN for those marriages, and whether any are the Edward of the will.
