My Upset Father In law requests help.
« on: Tuesday 22 July 08 23:26 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone.

My father-In -Law is very sad at the moment. He is a fantastic elderly guy with a heart of gold. The situation is this;-

His father re-married after his mothers death. Then unfortunatley his father died quite soon after this marriage, however he had changed his will to state that his new wife could live in the house until she died rent free. ( but the house deeds and ownership were passed to my father in law and his brother.

Sadly my father in law and his stepmother were not close. The lady died ( God Bless) a couple of months ago,and all the possesions of my father in laws parents eg photos , jewelry, family heirlooms have vannished into thin air. We have no idea if they were stolen behind the ladies back etc, and they could have been missing for the last 20 years or even just in the last 2 months. Either way,I cannot believe that the step-mother would have thrown these items out, she certainly could not have thrown away the old morris minor which was in the garage !.I feel that it is possible that she was taken advantage of towards the end of her life, which makes my heart sink.

I am sure many of you empathise with this situation, I myself would give anything for just one photo of my grandfathers family,and have searched high and low for years with no avail.

Please would anyone look out for any photograph albums and the family bible etc belonging to Theodore Charles William WASHBROOK and his first wife Evelyn Margaret HAINES. The Washbrook family had lived in the Villages of Islip, Kiddlington, and Old Marston which are all in close proximity too each other in Oxford.

God Bless
