I have just found a will on national archives for James Hill of Uppingham for this weeks challenge. However I can't read it. I wonder if anyone can read enough to see if he names his wife or children.

thanks Elizabeth. If I have the right one his wife should be Mary and children Thomas, James and Everard.
