Stewart,

Tomorrow night when I go up to the FHC I will be ordering the 1546 will of
Sir Humphrey Stafford of Blatherwick, which I mentioned in my earlier post.
It will probably take about two weeks to come in. Will let you know what
it contains; hopefully it will solve your Stafford problem as well as mine.
