I have just transcribed the will of one Robert Flamank of Probus.

The will was written on 6th March 1740.
Robert Flamank was buried on 8th March 1740.
The will was proved on 9th March 1740.

I don't think I have ever seen the whole process happen so quickly!

Robert must have known his time was up. The alternative is he was assisted on his way.

Was it s simple will to have been processed so fast?
