Dianna What I experienced with the records, I had to get 2 or 3 films, in order to have the whole procedings that took place. Some of it was to appoint the guardian/s, some to pay bills, some to release the guardian. The will was on the first listed page, in your case the Book S, Vol 1, pg 354. From there you'll have to search the film/s for further entries, but I think there was an index for the rest of the procedings, I can't recall. You may find interesting tidbits in viewing the total file on Michael. I have 24 pages of record for my wife's 3rd ggrandfather.
