    Hi Tim,

    Welcome to Brit-Gen.

    As you never said where you found those details I've had to do some googling. Found one source, but I was still convinced that you had found the details on Ancestry. And I eventually found them on Ancestry. But that leads back to the first source I found.
    The actual document is on one of three films held by the LDS. FHL British film 89174, 89175 and 89176 are 'Original wills A-E' followed respectively by (1), (2), and (3) and they all relate to 1824.

    If you don't have a local LDS FHC where you can order in the films for perusal, the LDS have a system whereby you can order photocopies of items on film, but I'm not sure how it works when you don't know for certain which film it would be on. Perhaps you have to order a look-up on one film, and if it's not on that one, ask for a look-up on the next one.
    Seems as if you might be able to request a look-up on all three films at the same time as you can ask for 5 records a month. https://

    I don't know if this will be of assistance in 'how to do it'.
