With the good fortune of the UK being quite a few hours behind, I decided to push my luck and ask the researcher if she could possibly look for a will for Hilda Grant (nee Seale). Which she generously did. Nothing for her or George. That brick wall is getting high again!!!!!!

Well. The paperwork sent through confirms that Colin Seale is not Robert. He went to England in 1939. They relate to a request to the High Commission to trace him. Colin had a daughter, Lorna, and a son, possibly two, as there was a reference to "Lorna's brothers" in one of the letters.  The one brother mentioned is referred to as Gunner D Seale.
Lorna was born about 1930. She left India in 1948 to go to England, and to try and find her father. In the meantime she stayed with a Mr and Mrs RP Grant. (I'm not sure if they are related to George Grant who had married Hilda Seale in 1917).
Colin was located living with a Sergeant B Seale in Burniston Barracks, Scarborough. UK.        Betty

Hi everyone. I've heard from the British Library. The reference specialist couldn't find a will for either Walter or Kathleen, nor a record of a Baptism for Robert. She also stated what we knew, that the records aren't complete. She gave me an address within the General Register Office to see if they can help. As well as addresses for overseas if they can't help. And, she has also sent through pages of "other correspondence" which I will have a read of, but i did see something about a daughter. Sleep well. :) Betty

Some time ago when searching for the movements of Robert Stevens, and his migrating to New Zealand, I came across a Robert Stevens who sailed on the "Ulimaroa" on 21 April 1921. I have had another look for the passenger list for the "Ulimaroa", going via FindMyPast and Ancestry, with no luck. Nor another site, "Denise and ??" who had just about every other ship except the "Ulimaroa".  :-\
If someone is successful in finding a link to the passenger list please forward it to me to browse. Then, and with any luck, it might be our person of interest, with a familiar name of a passenger on board. Many thanks, Betty

Acting on a thought. At the time of my father's death they were living in rented accommodation with only bare household furniture, some woodworking tools and general chattels. Mainly because they disposed of most of their belongings when they moved from Childers to Beaudesert to Western Australia. I'm sure he didn't leave a will and with a search fee of nearly $41 I'm not going to pursue this one.  ::) If you think I really should, then I will. :) :) Cheers, Betty
