Further to posts #66 and #68 from Emms and Ken respectively:

I have obtained a copy of George Arthur GILPIN's will from the York Record Office. He left everything to his mother, Elaza Mary Cawthorne GILPIN amounting to Pds.8953. His will was drawn up in San Salvador in 1909. His mother died in 1924 and left Pds. 13841, to be shared between her three remaining children, Walter, Lily (my grandma) and Rose. I have also learnt that Walter travelled to Ireland to identify George Arthur's body, after the sinking of the Lusitania. GA was almost certainly buried in Ireland although where I am not sure, but suspect it was in one of the communal graves.

Thanks to both of you for your interest, and for the summary of Gilpin information that you posted on 14 May, Ken.

Best match i could get on the year.

In 1910 £8953 would be worth today £ 510,858

In 1925 £13841 would be worth £ 414,814
