A Collection of Newfoundland Wills

Will of William Dowden from Newfoundland will books volume 5 page 293 probate year 1888.
This will is also recorded on pages 225-226 in this volume. The wills are similar, with only a few minor differences, and the comments of the registrar.
At the end of this one Browning has Christiana Down's name instead of Dowdens. The heading and the closing are different, and in the other will his name is spelled Douden all the way through, in this one it's spelled Dowden.
