This is the will of Benjamin Ingham, made in Palermo in 1861 and proved there but then proved again in London in 1871. This is from the London copy. The extract reads: Article 6 I give and bequeath to Don Frederico Ascenso e Spadafora Duke of Santa Rosalia another son of my said Wife by her first husband and to the said Don Gar??olo and Don Domenico Ascenso e Spadafora the sun of Fourteen thousand and twenty eight o??nces ten tazi and ten grains (?) in the proportion between them as hereinafter stated and with right of ------ ------ between them in case that any one cannot or will not accept the present legacy and with the positive prohibition of not being susceptible of ?????? not assignment nor even of being ?????ed. to wit ??? first ??? Duke of Santa Rosalia the sum of four thousand /Ounces/ in usufruct only to be enjoyed for the whole term of his natural life the Ownership in reversion I give and bequeath to his daughter Donna Francesca Ascenso Duchess of ______ wife of Don The extract is posted at: http://www.cmr1chards.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/transcription.htm My main question is what the currency is? By 1861 The Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies had been defeated by Garibaldi but the will states that it was the will of Benjamin Ingham resident of Palermo in the Kingdom of the two Sicilies so he is probably still using the curency of the that Kingdom. Google hasn't helped so far with this. Christopher Richards
