Find Ancestors

Hello Mark
I think we may have communicated quite regularly?
I believe I last wrote to you on 01/03/2009 regarding Ralph Musgrave and his probable siblings?
If this is so I passed on a snippet of information about Robert and Mary Musgrave and their possible burial at St Michael, Heighington. I hoped the parish records there might reveal more details than the NBI. Their burials were 1745 and 1767. Did you ever manage to check them out?
As for the will of William Musgrave. I have not found it myself but I know details of it. It is to be found at Durham University library. It was written on 17th Dec 1719, just a few days before the date I have for William's death.
It was witnessed and signed by Matthew Musgrave and Ralfe put a cross over his name. Presumably he couldn't write? This is probably the will referred to when one sees written about Ralph, "he signed a will but none has been found" yes .. he did SIGN a will, but not HIS OWN will.

hello Carole

thanks for your reply, yes I do recall now our previous messgaes, ive just started looking back over the musgrave, (sometimes wished I didnt). What confuses me is that nobody seems to be able to locate the birth/bap of ralph musgrave c1690 and/or be able to prove whom his father is, 9unless im missing something very obvious), next time I am at durham uni Ill look out william musgraves will, and now you have reminded me ill alos look for robert and marys's burial
thanks carole
