Pardon the dust - A brick wall just fell: Will of John Clark (1784-1842) Terrington St Clement, Norfolk, England

You know how hard it is to find the correct "John Clark" who died in or near Terrington St. Clement, Norfolk, England between 1836 - 1851. I'll just say "pretty hard". 

Powering down after a long midnight shift, I was scrolling through the Norfolk Archive website on my phone and noticed a link for online probate records. After reading through 4-5 John Clark wills, I found my 4th Great Grandfather's will and date of death!!!
