My grandfather attended CBS in 1895. Does the school release student records to family members? If so, do you suggest that I just compose an email with my request?

Thank you!
I had never heard that term.

What does "honoured" mean? Legitimate? If so, the Will I saw was legitimate ..... my grandfather inherited everything in it ...... So ~ when a Will entry is found in the Calendar ~ is that ALL we can see? Just those few lines of synopsis? We can't see the entire document? If so, that's disappointing...

A cousin of mine visited the crypt over the weekend and sent me pictures .....

Thank you for checking on that for me, Lucille ..... I did find that information ............. Patrick Edward was my great great grandfather ...... But, why doesn't his son's (Henry Patrick) Will come up? HP died in 1894...... and he was a Solicitor and owned over 900 acres ..... so he had assets......

I have had NO success searching the Calendar of Wills & Adminstration at http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/search/cwa/index.jsp Absolutely NO results, even though I have exact dates, names and places of death. My family was very prominent in Clare (Gentry Solicitor, Landed Proprietors, Ma...
