Fantastic, thank you for your swift reply, Mabel.

Er .... any chance of probate of Edith Kerr, died 1951 in Ealing please? Could that be Norah's sister?

Many thanks, John. It's not very informative, but even that fact is interesting - suggests that maybe she had no more siblings left to be her Executors. Appreciate your help.

I think Arthur dies in 1933 - Edward Norman Kerr, one of Charlotte's executors, appears to be one of his sons
