Will of Henry John Duder from Newfoundland will books volume 5 pages 287-291 probate year 1888.
This will is also recorded on pages 181-185 in this volume. The wills are similar, with only a few minor differences, and the comments of the registrar. They left out John in the heading of this will, called him a butcher in the other will and a victualer in this one, the second item in the second section is not the same as the other version, and again the registrars comments
