FamilySearch Full-text Search solves another family history mystery… I sadly confess to having allowed FS full-text search to distract me a bit from my Beake line research. That said, this week that sideline resulted in a discovery that answered my question from earlier this year: "who was Mary, the second wife of George Wardell, named in his will, dated 31 March 17961". Quick summary: George's will named a second wife, Mary and his daughter, Elizabeth as his co-executrixes.
