My ancestor Mary was left £400 by her brother in 1808 to be paid after the death of his widow. Mary made her will in July 1829 and there's a large section on this expected money, her sister-in-law then still being alive.
Mary's own will was proved July 1837 by oath of the executor who had sworn duly to administer July 1836. The sister-in-law had died in April 1837. Death duty on Mary's will was paid in 1837.
I *think* I've found Mary's burial in July 1830 - same parish her husband had been buried in and abode the town she was living in in 1829 - it's just the transcribed age is 80 instead of the 88 it should have been. I'd accept this because the surname isn't common and all of her own generation were dead - it's just the executor swearing to administer in 1836 and I don't really understand that.....
