Thank you Gins... Right person (address)

I was hoping that there would be some mention of a Lily Coombs....

That is the name of the informant on the death cert. living at same address.

No idea who she is.... !!!

It might be worth sending for the Will to see if she is mentioned in it

.............. remember that the Probate information only tells you who was appointed the Executor / Administrator of a will ....................... ie, the person responsible for carrying out the wishes of the deceased as laid out in the will


You have to buy the will to see what it actually contains.

Thank you Andrew & Sylvia.... I have sent for the will.

4/6 weeks wait they say.

I will come back here if there is anything of interest in it.
