I have the above gentleman dying in Clun Shropshire in 1835. FMP has:- Index to Death Duty Registers 1796-1903 David Pugh Death year 1835 Residence CLUN, SHROPSHIRE Court PCC And Country Courts National Archives reference IR 27/234 I have looked at the reference on both FMP and TNA and it says:- David Pugh of Clun, Salop to S Pugh of the same place. Register 4, Folio 915 S Pugh would be his grandson Samuel. Is there another document to go along with this? If so, how do I get a copy? Or is this just a stand alone register and no more information is kept?
They are indexes to registers held by the National Archives. Have look at this Research Guide, scroll down to where it says What records can I find at The National Archives at Kew? and follow the links.
Thank you Jan.....but that's not fair ....I hate looking for stuff on TNA . The reference FMP gave me was IR27/234 took me half hour of TNA telling me there are no records before I realised it should be IR 27/234 with a flippin gap . OK, I bit the bullet and had a look, it says :- So, does this mean there is only a register and not the actual Will or whatever?
I don't know if you have seen this, or if it is any use, but on the National Library of Wales's site you can see 5 images for David Pugh's Bond of 1835 in their will section. From the catalogue menu https://www.llgc.org.uk/catalogue/ select wills, which will bring up a box in which to enter David Pugh - then select name, then search. Mr Pugh's bond is no 16 in the list (second page) (why do these things have to be so complicated ) A direct link to the relevant bit doesn't work. Ann
Where I went, the National Library of Wales:http://cat.llgc.org.uk/cgi-bin/gw/chameleon?skin=profeb&lng=en there are 5 images, relating death & will of David Pugh in my words) 28th April 1835 David Pugh's will(death 6th Jan. 1835) - admin to John Pugh.100 pounds- youngest son of David Pugh of Henrdreboeth? parish of LLar Two elder brothers viz' Hugh & David & sisters Ann & Mary being satisfied that the said John Pugh should have the administration. AAgh! not in Shropshire, darn,..sorry Chimp. Time I wasn't here again.
That'll learn me, I should have paid more attention and seen that you were after a David Pugh from Clun......just as well our Ma is on the ball and noticed Ann
