A Collection of Newfoundland Wills

Donald Dingwell

 

 

Will of Donald Dingwell
from Newfoundland will books volume 12 page 267 probate year 1922
(Please note that in the will book the corner of the page is torn off, and as a result the page number from the page beneath shows, so instead of page 267 it reads 269. It is not 269, it is 267)

Note: The wills in those will books are NOT actual wills. They are hand-written copies of a, "last will and testament," written by the court clerk, after the death of the testator, when the executor presented them to the court for probate. The court clerk didn't list the signatures at the bottom, he (or she) just put them in the book in whatever order they were in, on the original document, no spacing most of the time, no punctuation. The originals were kept by the executor.

We who have typed these wills, have made every effort to include all the errors that were on the microfilm, in order to avoid destroying the integrity of the originals, where ever they may be.
