Yorkshire will found in unusual place

[ElizabethHerts]

I've been puzzling over this for some time. I finally contacted Hebden Bridge History Society and sent them the required payment - £5.

This morning I have received scans of the two wills.
I'm over the moon - despite my scepticism the Thomas Jackson will is that of my 4x-great-grandfather. There was also another son. The icing on the cake - his son Henry was indeed schoolmaster at Heptonstall. My 3x-great-grandfather Isaac is mentioned.

Now I can ask for scans of the other documents.

I had asked the Archives and the Borthwick Institute about possible wills for this family and they had none.
