Thank you to all for the Census info.
Now I know where they were 1881..!
Wonder what happened to the Tobacconists..!!
When Ellen died 1933 she left the equivilant of a nearly Quarter Million £ in today's money but had already spent nearly same amount following the death of her husband 1929...the biggest mystery of where it all came from is yet to be solved.

Gwy I would appreciate that very much indeed.
Thank you.

Choccy .Thank you for Bernards details...

I am having to put everything in one post as thje site is on dead slow and full stop...!!

Marriages Sep 1914 -------------------------------------------------

CHAMBERS Margaret Hull ..Watford 3a 1964

Hull William H Chambers ..Watford 3a 1964

Gwyn....Looks like the marriage of the eldest daughter ...also the one mentioned in the Will along with bro.John M Chambers...

It has become an interesting ..intriguing piece of "research" .
Ellen G Chambers married a Thomas Deary 1914 Reg.Watford...when they died 1929/1933 respectively they each left a small fortune in todays terms...I was thinking the money may have come from the Chambers side of the family but thats becoming suspect at the moment...The Deary's hadnt a Penny to Bless Themselves when Thomas married Ellen ...of course its possible father Bernard left money to Ellen but that would mean he had also accumulated one large fortune....

Thank you for your time and help.
