Have sent more details by PM, the 1623 is not an actual will, but an inventory of his possessions, have been able to read some of it. As it mentions Margeria (Latin Marjory) I would think it is his?

You can email the RO who may be able to help more. Along with the details posted by Shirley, these are the other references to him on FMP

This is just a list of names and dates which include his -

Ellen, the original as well as the transcript posted by Shirley is available on Find My Past. I've hopefully downloaded and attached to a PM to you. If they don't arrive or you can't open let me know your own email address by PM and I'll try that way.

Googling Lichfield RO shows it closed to the public end of last year and records now held at -
