Hi Derek,

Don't bother making a separate request for the probate file, I'll look for it on my next visit to Archives.

Thanks Very Much Janette

The Shufflebotham makes sense. I remember by grandmother Ellen Drury born Walters mentioning the name change. She was Daisy's sister. My grandmother had 3 sisters & I believe they emigrated to NZ with their father & mother. One settled in Australia. I believe one of the sisters was called Florry or Florence, I will try to check that out. My grandmother remained in England.
 I do not know if Robert had any siblings but I do remember a photo of a young man in naval uniform who looked a bit like Robert. I have visited Robert's grave near Harrogate & the plane crash in which he died is pretty well documented.

Thanks for your help
Derek
