Hello,
I am trying to confirm information about SAMUEL ATKIN. He was born in Norton in 1633. He married ALSE LEE in 1658 and I think he died in 1693.
I have found a Will listed on FMP which I was hoping may confirm this and hopefully name children.
I am wondering if there is anyone who has a subscription and is willing to help me out with looking at and hopefully forwarding me a copy of the will.
I would be hugely grateful.
Thankyou
Karen
Samuel was buried at St James on 2nd October 1693 his residence given as Sichhouse.
There was a Samuel baptised on 24th February 1632 at St James, the son of Jmaes (Jacobi) and Ellana. The entry has some latin text which is difficult to read and translate.
A Samuel of Sickhouse married Alice Lee (spinster of Little Sheffield) at Sheffield parish church on 11th August 1658. He was possibly a tanner.

Samuel's will is obtainable via FindMy Past and includes an inventory of his goods (lots!) and a list of people who owed him money.
May be useful to know - you don't need a full subscription to access FMP records. You can buy individual records on a pay per view basis - called Micropayments.
So rather than buying a bunch of credits you may not use/need, you can just buy single records. The cost of records varies depending on the record type - and you can pay by card or PayPal.
