Observations:

The dates are a muddle, Abednigo Price died 8 days after making his will on 25 October 1850 which is clearly stated on 3 of the accompanying documents, the inventory the registration instruction sheet and the coversheet but probate was not finalised until 22 December 1856 . There is no reference to 1857 on any document so it is unclear why NLW have catalogued it for that date. Accompanying the documents is a letter dated July 8 1858 from the rector of Bacton saying that Margaret Price had not had the money to pay the fee for proving the will some time previously and had now gone into service in London .
With the rector's 2 page letter the separate registration instruction coversheet inventory and will; 6 sheets in all.
