Will Problem

My ancestor was born in 1789 but I don't know her parents.

A good tip is to look for wills a year or so before or after marriage. An
inheritance, or promise of one, would put her in the marriage market.

shed more light on this. I've got the note about probate
issued in 1823 - no help. Would there have been any
other financial records still around in record offices?
