William Naylor died 1893 Probate

[ElizabethHerts]

William Naylor, a varnish manufacturer, died on 26th February 1893 at St John's Wood.

His will can be found on the Government Probate Index but a search produces no results on Ancestry. Does the Ancestry index have many omissions?
I'm not sure whether I could report this.

It's frustrating as I'm trying to check the Folio No.

This link would hopefully give you the opportunity to report that pages 5 and 6 are missing:

NB It looks as if the folio no is 480

It does seem to be missing from Ancestry. You should be able to report it as "Problem with an image (missing)" - I would search for Naylor 1893, then click on one of the records which does come up and click on "Report a problem" then explain that a subsequent image is missing.

I don't know whether the handwritten folio numbers always appear on Ancestry's copy, anyway.

Thanks, Phoenix and Kate.

I thought the folio no. was 480 but the edge of the page is cut off on the image.

I have been amusing myself with a notorious family Chancery case involving the Purser, Jeffcoat and other families. William Naylor made an affidavit in 1876 which explains in great detail the family relationships. His mother was Mary Jeffcoat (a Quaker) before her marriage.

One of his daughters was called Evelyn Mary and she married Charles Morland Agnew, who founded the Evelyn Hospital at Cambridge.

It employs 120 permanent staff and accommodates the practices of 200 consultants working across a broad range of disciplines.
