FILE - Draft Will - ref. PA/101/2/83 - date: 13th Apr, 1866
http://www.a2a.org.uk/images/file.gif[from Scope and Content] Of Richard [I] Barson (of Alderman's Green, Foleshill pa., publican): the testator leaves everything to his wife Sarah [I] for life, then on trust for sale, after it shall have been valued by William Frederic Pridmore (of Styvechale, Warws.) with option for the testator's son William to purchase (but in default the other sons may do so in order of seniority - George, Richard [II], John and Frederick); if no son will buy, the estate should be held in trust for the testator's daughters Mary (wife of Joseph) Perkins and Hannah (wife of John) Grant; if even they express no interest, the land will be sold in trust to dispose of one-ninth of the proceeds to each son and daughter Sarah [II], another one-ninth for investment in stock with interest paid to M. Perkins (with successive remainders to her husband and children) provided she does not claim the £20 bequeathed to her by Mary Heming, and the final one-ninth to H. Grant upon the same terms as M. Perkins'; the testator appoints as executors his sons William and Henry.

It would seem the family solicitors were Seymour Smith and Co of Coventry, solicitors and their archives are deposited at Coventry Records Office. Full details at http://www.a2a.org.uk/default.asp
