...
I suppose you have seen the will of John Bagshaw of Abney who died in the early months of 1732/3. I see from my notes that he had sons Robert, William, & Peter. The will dated December 1732 mentioned two grandsons but no mention of granddaughters.

... I had not seen this will so the question may then becomes who are the parents of John Bagshaw of Abney who died in 1732 and left this will.DCB I have in my notes somewhere ( I have not found them yet) Bagshaw births and marriages of this period in Hope which Abney is part of. (Abney is between Hucklow and Hope.)
