Default Erm....what about this dead McCrery then?

WD McCrery's will added to BK6

I've just found that one of my McCrerys was a widower when he died aged 23 in Feb 1826 I had thought he was probably single.

He was William Dennis McCrery and there are these two refs for him at TNA.

I'm a bit confused about whether I'd find more info with one of these than the other and if so which one?
