Hi,
Not sure if I should have made a separate thread regarding my Loffill's or just add to this one,but here goes any way.

I've just down loaded the Will of Joseph and Margaret's son "Joseph Loffill"
born 1807 died 1836
I've got the jist of it but can't make it all out particularly the name of the Executor William something? and what Joseph says about him.Would someone please have a go at reading it .
It downloaded as a pdf file


In this will he leaves everything to his widowed mother Margaret,and then when she dies whatever is left is to be divided between his three sister's Elizabeth Weston Loffill,Kezia Loffill (my 4x Grandmother) and Mary Loffill.
Unfortunately no other family members are named,Hollingans or Loffills etc..Plus I don't think it says what he did for a living or any other personal facts so a bit disappointing really

Along with my Loffill Will I also have a large part of the Will of William Lane a gentleman of I think it says Waborne Norfolk,so if any one wants a copy I can send

Thank you

Thanks
Sorry for the late reply Ann
I'm having trouble with Genes loading today
Thank you for all of this info
I had noticed the Staffordshire bunch and was wondering if they may be related some where along the line.Will look in to it.
I'm waiting for the searchable 1911 on Ancestry before I renew so am keeping any new info for researching then.

Thanks Maddie,
before my sub ran out I did try to find out for my self.She is a brick wall for me.
Can't find a birth either so don't know where she came from.
The only thing that keeps coming up is that her surname and that of her husband Joseph Loffill may be of Huguenot origin.
So I'm Stuck!
I have his birth,father Joseph and mother Mary but have been unable to trace the Loffills in England before that.

Any way thanks again for taking the time

Please read last post date for new enquiry



Hi,
Could some one please look for this person on the 1841 Census

Margaret Loffill maiden name Hollingan born about 1772 (I don't know where)

Her husband was Joseph Loffill who died 1818 St Mary Woolnoth London


I have no personal information for her other than her marriage 2nd Feb 1800 Southwark
and death in 1849
her address at that time was Union Street Hackney




My Sub to Ancestry has run out so I couldn't view the result my self if I had found it


Many thanks
