The Dodge Family Association

Old English Wills

We have acquired a number of old English wills from Dodges who lived many years ago in the north of England...namely, Manchester, Offerton, Stockport, Bosden, etc. A DFA member is presently working on typing the text to these wills. As the text becomes available, we will link the scanned will to the typed text. In most cases, the wills were scanned in several stages as they were too big to fit on one page. If you can help with any of the wording where there seems to be a problem, e-mail our office.
