Will of Lionel Bradstreet dated Nov 2nd 1839
Widower Lionel Bradstreet married the widow Mary Pitman by Special License dated 30th January 1835 at St Botolphs Aldgate London.Both had children from their previous marriages but it is not known whether there were any children of this marriage.After Lionel's death everything was left to his wife, Mary Bradsteet to enjoy during her natural life and then to be shared equally between the children, Lionel(?), Eugine, Rose Elizabeth Gurtins Adl.... Bradstreet and Joseph Pitman, Jesse Pitman, Susan Pitman, Emily Pitman, Francis George Pitman, Frederick William Pitman.
I can be certain of the Pitman names as I can check them against other family records but the orginal Will is the only sources for the other children and the writing is difficult to decipher.
Two other people are mentioned in the Will Mrs Mary Ann Gosbold and Mr John Frost.
The witnesses were the said John Frost and a Sarah Wormall
I shall be pleased if anyone can throw some light on this
