Thank you very much Graham. That's the lady I was after. She was my great great grandmother. She left her 2 son's in charge of sorting out her affairs, and one of them a Tax Man to-boot.

Thank you again

EVANS Hannah of 58 Lyons-street sheffield widow died 7 May 1929 Probate London 3 August to Arthur James Evans retired civil servant and Charles Henry Evans civil servant. Effects £468 15s. 11d

Beaten to it!

[terrysfamily]

Thank you too Robin

To find the information you've asked for you would need to order the will.

Because it went to probate, does that mean there IS a will or just that there may be?

Just been reading the Will sticky and £6 seems very cheap for a will. Is that correct?

Terry

[terrysfamily]

Well that's very cheap.

It says on the form

Probate details (if known) Grant type, Issuing Registry and grant issue date.

I now know the issue date 03 August 1929 but do I just leave the other 2 empty?

This is my first will aplication don'tcha know

That’s bloomin great Graham, I’m on my way to acquiring my first ever will.

Oh and while I’m at it….

I have this for a Mary Jane Drayton Deaths Mar Qtr 1932 Shropshire (think she was living at Pen-y-Wern, Bucknell, Shropshire when she died)

(Mary Jane was my Great grandmother and Hannah Evan’s daughter)

Effects to Dorothy Mary Beddoes wife of Samuel Thomas Beddoes £186 14s 6d

(Dorothy was my dad’s aunty who died of TB in 1938)

Does that mean that this went to probate too? Would there be a will?

I don’t have the full details for Mary Jane Drayton.

[terrysfamily]

granted in London. You will need to put that on the form so they can find it more easily.

Would that come under Issuing Registry?

I think it was granted in London as that is where Charles Henry her son lived and worked

[terrysfamily]

See trying to run before I can walk

I will send my application away on Monday, then sit and wait by my letterbox for the next 4 weeks. Better get the thermos out, it’s gonna be a long wait.

Thank you very much Graham you have been a great help. I would have been totally lost.

To find the information you've asked for you would need to order the will. The calendar only names the executors who may or may not be beneficiaries and the effects only relate to personal effects and not property.

Can you please explain to me how I find Wills & Probate records.

Never tried

Many thanks.
