Wow Mike. You clearly have better glasses than mine... ;-)

She names her living daughter as Mary Ann TYLER (who had a child born before marriage)

That confirms exactly what I already have. The child's father, as far as I can work out, was Stephen Allaway who was part owner of Cinderford Iron Works that was just along the road from the Victoria Hotel and which was probably the reason the hotel was successful (it closed in 1900 around the time the iron works closed).

My main interest in Elizabeth's Will is what Mary Ann inherited as she's my main interest.

The confirmed deaths of the other children are also useful.

Thanks for all this.
