Quote from Henry STEPHENS of Lydney Will 7 February 1793 - only Elizabeth was born before Henry's death - yet to find Thomas & Elizabeth (nee STEPHENS) marriage

'I give and Devise my said Household premises subject as aforesaid unto my two Daughter Ann WIGGINGTON (WICKENDEN can be transcribed as this) - and Elizabeth MORRIS equally to be divided Between them share and share alike. I give Device and Bequeath unto my Grand Daughter Elizabeth MORRIS and to her Heirs and Afsizes for... all that piece of waste land situte at Yorkley Lane in the said County of Gloucester which I lately purchased off John KEARE?

and later on.....

and with my Daughter Elizabeth now the wife of Thomas MORRIS of Rofles Hill, Collier ....... and later on gives his Grandaughter Elizabeth MORRIS two sheep and all singular Farming Stock.... Hay Implements .......'

I have typed it out, but not well enough to put on this website, as the photocopy at the 'edges' is quite black

- The Eldest Son Henry STEPHENS' Will 24 January 1800.

''I give and bequeath in equal parts unto my brother William STEPHENS and my Sisters Ann WICKENDEN and Elizabeth MORRIS share and share alike, but in case of either of their deaths to their children (His Wife Sarah was childless)'
