I've recently been looking at the wills section of this website and was fascinated to read that my great great grandfather, George Godwin Bowdler (1850-1921), was a beneficiary of the will of William Crawshay - the mine-owner, who died in 1910. GGB was a gamekeeper on the Crawshay estate, and the will says that the relationship was "servant".

I imagine that the bequest was just a small token, but if anyone on here has details of the will then I'd love to hear from you. Please don't go to any trouble - this is simply about filling in some of the 'colour' of my ancestors' lives.
