RECORDS OF WILLS AND ESTATES
There are four Volumes of Records in the Ordinary's Office which have escaped conflagrations, from which the following ab- stracts of Wills and of Estates have been taken. The first volume contains the records covering 1820 to 1828 and in the back of it there has been copied the records of 1848 to 1853: the second volume covers the years 1828 to 1838: the third volume, that from 1838 to 1848. and the fourth volume from 1853 to 1858.
It will be noted that occasionally parts of these records run into more than one volume and in such events only that volume where first found is mentioned. Sometimes the estate was administered several years after the death of the intestate.
As a key to understand the abbreviations: w. is for wife; d. daughter; s. son; b. brother; c. child or children; h. heirs; g. c. grandchildren; m. mother; f. father; s. l. son-in-law; d. l. daughter- in-law; b. l. brother-in-law; sis, sister.
