Richard Smith, farrier of Tunbridge Wells
Richard died in May 1844 Tunbridge Wells in Kent and was buried at Speldhurst aged 73.
I have found nine children, including my ancestor Robert, who came to Australia. When I was Maidstone I found Richard's father Robert's will. He and his 4 sisters were left equal shares in their father's estate. I am hoping that someone might be able to locate Richard's will which might prove whether the sons survived and who the daughter's married. I think Lucy married George Hopkins and Deidemia married Edward Finch. Richard Jnr was the oldest and also a farrier and who I believe married Mary Rabbit. Thanks. Julie |

Do you know the date of the will or probate year at all, Julie?

I'm looking in the death duty index first. I'm presuming his will wasn't a PCC one, or it would be easy to re-find? There's one proved through one of the Rochester courts in 1821. Exor is Wm Harris who seems to be of Southborough. Does that ring any bells?

Merry, I think Julie is looking for the will of Richard Smith who died in 1844.
There is this Ancestry tree: http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/717...on/32248610656 |

I looked on the PCC wills and there is nothing there.

Oh lol I wondered why the thread was headed up with Richard's name. Back to the drawing board.

I looked here but couldn't find anything.
