	Why do you think this is the same person as middle name does not match that shown against the 1873 marriage ?

	Glitter, you said that Joseph James Bishop Manning did not leave anything to his wife but the probate record only lists the names of the executors not those receiving bequests. He could have left everything to his wife, but as she's not named she was not an executor.
	Researching: Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

	Margee, Thank you I had completely lost track of that. Still do not know why the request is for Manning when it should have been for Jennings, Maureen
