Find Ancestors

Ordered will and feeling excited. Wonder how long they take normally. Hope I've filled the form in correctly.
In all my years doing family history I've never known how to find a will and get a copy.

I have been to Swallow and taken photos of all the headstones. The family had two small farms. In an online article it mentions a will, which states the 'misses were left the farm but should they marry they would loose it'.I wonder if Ethel and her sister were the misses? A street is now on the area where the old cow sheds were and named Tomlinson Close.
I asked the person who wrote the original article about the will, she told me it was hear say.

How do I find the will?

Hmmmm, i don't know where Paul got his info from!


Hall is not from her mothers maiden name.........

None of the other children have the middle name of Hall..........perhaps they just fancied the name?

EDIT: Error on transcription when compared to original. Jemima is Alfred's wife of 41 years. The other daughter is Frances Elizabeth age 28. Reported to FMP.

Would like to know who she was living with and occupation.
