Well, the will leaves everything to his wife and if she dies at around the same time everything is left to his son Harold and married daughter Aileen - house, goods, money.
There is no mention of another son, no mention of a son's widow, no mention of a son's son.
Gets me absolutely nowhere.
The son Gavin was born in Scotland in 1937, not a war baby, not born before marriage, and parents on ER's together. At some time Gavin started using his mmn which would imply not wanting to use his father's surname for whatever reason. His mother kept on using it until she remarried.
If Eric and Emmie divorced the grandfather could cut Gavin from the inheritance. If Eric and Emmie divorced and Eric subsequently died before his father then Eric would disappear from will. Will dated 1960. If Eric had quarrelled with his parents he could have been removed from will.
Gavin died age 44, no relatives named in news article that I saw.
