I wonder if someone could advise. My family with some yeoman exceptions are
agricultural labourers, chordwainers,gardeners and similar. I have never
really considered looking at wills etc as I have always assumed that this
type of occupation would suggest that they would not have much to leave. Is
that a correct assumption or am I missing a trick?
