Moses Joseph (1803-1889)

[Dom2]

Hi, (I was originally registered as Dom1 but am now Dom2)
Has anyone a copy of Moses Joseph's will or at least provide details of it. He was my 1st Cousin X4 and married my great great grand aunt Rosetta (nee Nathan) - their marriage was the first official Jewish marriage on Australian soil. I thought there was a precis of it kicking around on the web somewhere but of course now that I need it I am unable to locate it. If memory serves I recall it being mentioned in another thread.
Thanks in advance
Dom2
