Observations:

Includes separate Registration instruction; 3 sheets in all. Although the copy of the Inventory is marked ' I'2 there is in fact only one copy.
The probate date being 24 years after the date of the inventory does not fit together easily but it may be that Mary did not realise that she had to register the will as all the estate came to her.
