Thanks, Vita and Kate. Some of the terms are used loosely.

However, in this will the testator uses the term grandson correctly, and also niece correctly for one of his brother's daughters.

This should be easy, but it's not. I'm trying to untangle all the Ayling relationships. I must have transcribed 50 or so wills for this family, but some of the connections still elude us, and we are making a lot of the connections through the relationships in wills and land transfers.
