Family History Beginners Board / How do you find out about a current will? death Jan 2017.

« on: Friday 20 January 17 10:54 GMT (UK) »

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I have traced a distant relative but she died at the beginning of this month before I had chance to meet her. She does not have any children or direct family still living and I am wondering if I can find out if she has left a will? She mentioned she had some photographs of my relatives and I hate to think that they are going to get binned in a house clearance or something.

Is there any way I could find out who the executors of her estate are?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I am looking for anyone who might have records, photos, or memories of people living in Old Alresford, Alresford and Cheriton.

I would be especially interested in anything linked to the family names Tanner or Compton and anything about Upton Manor (Upton House) or The Grange.
