Hello Mike. Thank you for this.

After a lifetime working it is not a lot of money to leave. Of course, better than many folks and far better than a life in the Workhouse. But on reflection this does tie in with what I am picturing about the family. My inkling is that money was not the only driving force - religious beliefs and charitable beliefs were. These do sound unlikely in the light of what we now know, which raises some interesting questions.

As you will have gathered I am new to all this. Hence when you mention probate does this list all the details of the deceased assets? Or would one go the Will for this?

Of course this was a long time ago in relation to my memory, but I do not recall ever hearing the name Bradley. This might sound like a strange remark but numerous surnames have been mentioned in recent years and it is surprising how many ring a bell. I may not be able to place that bell, but it does ring!

The Green's ran a bakery and grocery. I am wondering if the bakery and grocery were separate businesses in Longhope. If so, I may have heard of the name of the Grocer. I do not know who the grocer was. I am wondering if your excellent knowledge of the area can answer this one?
