Soren Posted 4 May , 2010 Author Share Posted 4 May , 2010 Any idea why he would be missing from the Scottish soldiers wills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltoro1960 Posted 4 May , 2010 Share Posted 4 May , 2010 Basically he didn't write a will Soren. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted 5 May , 2010 Share Posted 5 May , 2010 I maybe wrong Soren, but didn't the Will page of the soldiers pay book stay in it until they were killed, no body, no pay book means no Will form, as he has a grave then it'll be a simple case of him not filling it in. I'm sure the Will was the last page in the book. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
