Dear Linda, Recently it has been possible to search will records at PRO (Public Record Office) in London. One can do a surname search, find details and order a will, costing about £3 and payable by credit card. The will comes immediately back to your computer in .pdf format. It's wonderful.

I did a search for **Francis LOWE** (just because it is much less common than John)and found this feedback:

This kind a resource is a help to all who are working on UK ancestors.

By the way I am a MOORE descendant (St. Mary's Co. & Prince George's Co.) and have always wondered about Henry MOORE of Charles Co. Email me directly at: <iobrist@mail.win.org>
