    This gave me the idea to look for wills in Norfolk. There are images online (apparently free) of a number of 19th century probates (is that a word?)

    Certainly is connected, Liberty :) It's actually the official proving of a will. Looks a very useful website for some!

    Just looked at it and right off found my GG GF's signature when he was one of the adminsitrators for the estate of my GG GM's aunt in 1849.
    Coo!

    ..and HIS grandfather (my 4G GF) in relation to his son who died Antigua March 1811 aged 21 years.
    Sorry, people, more exciting for me than it is for you, I know.....

    We're excited for you. It's always so good to see things that were actually written by your ancestors, or even about them at the time. A lot of my ancestors were in the navy, and most service records give physical descriptions (including marks & tattoos) which I find fascinating, especially if I can relate similarities to living descendants.
