Reading a Will from 1824 Anyone any good at it.

Germaine · Reading a Will from 1824 Anyone any good at it.

Hi this isn't for me it is for my friend in Australia.
She is trying to see if she can find a link to William Wordsworth and her family.
She downloaded this Will from the National Archives and we are having trouble trying to read it.
Is there anyone any good at reading the old Wills ( it is hard

) that is will to spare the time.
If she can only get names and relationships it may help.

The blurb says;

Famous People's Wills

Famous British wills available on-line AP via Globe and Mail (March 17)

The National Archives of Britain has published online about 100 wills dated from 1384 to 1858. Wills of William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, Jane Austen, William Wordsworth and others are available as colour images. Searching is free but viewing the image costs 3 Pounds. See http://www.documentsonline.pro.gov.uk
