This was found at <http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=76350>; in a list of gravestones in Stockton, Co Durham, churchyard:

“Margaret, daughter of George Welbank, and wife of George Brown, Gent. ob. Nov. 14, 1776, in the 40th year of her age.”

I wonder if this is the above daughter born in 1737?  The age is right.  If so, this gives her husband.

This looks like two entries for the one will, one for Greenwich, one for York.

I have filled in their order form at the above address and hope I will get somewhere useful with it.

I placed the order with payment in November 2020.  I received the copy in Mid-March 2021 and it was almost illegible.
