DR ARTHUR WORSLEY POWELL PAIGNTON & BENDIGO

[shippo]

Hi
I have been following this thread with interest and am full of admiration at the work done by almach and shippo.

A brilliant joint effort

If it wasnt for almach finding the National Probate Calendar we'd probably be still looking for him

I do love it tho when one comes along that is a real challenge

It occurred to me that there might be a connection through occupation of Robert Clark (Father of John
Robert who married Annie Davies) and William Powell who took in Annie.

In the UK 1851 census for Newcastle on Tyne Robert Clark is down as a lodger with his sister Alice
(my relative) and says as a Grocer's Assistant. From memory for his death notice in a Bendigo paper
he is down as a grocer. William Powell in some articles on Trove is down as a seedsman but as Shippo found on 11.3. copied below WP is down as a fruiterer.

Perhaps therefore that's how the families came to know each other, possibly in Yorkshire or more
than likely Bendigo - any thoughts?!

Excellent find almach!

Too kind, Shippo, and you also had some excellent finds. It was a pleasure sleuthing with you.

Does anyone know - and sorry I don't coming from the UK! - how to obtain a Will for WP - would it be online but I am
not a member of Ancestry etc and don't know how to do these look ups!

For how to order wills, see here.......https://www.british-genealogy.com/for...Guide-To-Wills

I gave you all the details you need at #55

Thanks for that - skimmed through the Wills postings and have in fact ascertained there is
a Probate office in Leeds so have emailed them

Also asked Bendigo Archives if they can help with the indexes that it was suggested might hold
the answer to Annie's situation

with thanks to everyone Jill

I am away at present and have left my family tree hat behind
sorry to ask but email access is difficult - I thought someone had found the death of
Marjorie but I can't find the info - am I dreaming?!
thanks Jill
