If there's anyone you need looking up Joy just ask :) I've found a few of mine...no money lol, but it does give some interesting details, addresses and in one case the details of daughter and son in law, which I didn't have.

Please can anyone point me towards that really useful calculator site that converts how much x amount of money then would be now ...I've discovered my G.G.Grandfather died with £3,089 17s 9d ( in 1884 ) and was thinking that sounds like a lot of money back then ! ( mind you having said that his money puts mine to shame now ......lol ) .

Hi Rose
I heard this news this morning on the radio.But I've found that Probate records can only be read if we have Premium or worldwide membership, so I've not had much luck :O(

In my own little world where everybody knows me... ..... best thing about happy memories is making them....

Thanks Rose - have just had some good finds.

BUT I so wish I hadn't looked in and seen your post as I was about to go to bed - the inevitable happened lol. I just couldn't wait till morning, so am now cross eyed and very much in danger of having the 'qwerty stamp' across my forehead. xx
