Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 109 Send Message	I asked this question a few weeks ago but just nudging it forward again Any more ideas anyone? I have found details of an old will dispute in my family, dating from 1873 to 1879 in Glamorgan, South Wales. The estate of my gr-gr grandfather went into the Chancery Courts for several years (not as many as Jarndyce and Jarndyce though!!) before all his lands and property were auctioned off to pay debts. I have a copy of his original will, before proceedings started against it. Does anyone know if there would still be a record of this whole dispute buried in a dusty old court archive somewhere? I'd be really interested to find out exactly what happened. Thanks!
