Yes, I was hoping for better...they feel a bit Welsh don't they - Davis, William & Jones, not that it helps! I've bought a will for a David Davis in the hope that he might have been her father but drat it, no.

If anyone needs the will of David Davis, Victualler of St Saviour, Southwark (wife Eleanor) just give me a shout.
