A very long will this one with much legal jargon, so I have only summarised the salient points.

To my daughter Mary Ann Gawthrop four silver table spoons, two silver desert spoons and a silver cream jug.
To my son John Charles Gawthrop six silver table spoons, two silver desert spoons and six silver tea spoons.
To my son William Thomas Gawthrop I give all the rest of my silver plate.
I further will that until my children reach 21, my wife shall have custody of these articles.
I request that the silver Coffee Pot given me by my Excellent father in law, Mr Oliver be preserved out of respect for his memory.
I give to my brother, John Gawthrop, my Gold watch, and request that on his death he will it to my son William Thomas Gawthrop.
I give to my son William Thomas Gawthrop all my books, private papers and prints except such as have the names of my other children written in them.
