I know John nor Nellie left a Will and I know they had no children, as they would have been my mothers cousins, although many of her cousins where the same ages as my grandparents as my Grandfather was one of the younger ones...strange family I have EVERYTHING goes to the male side and that means my mothers brother, it is all tied up years before they die, so handed over.
Three boys owned the farm passed on years before from my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather, Great uncle Sid and Great Uncle Hugh, the daughters got nothing. Grandfather and Uncle Sid bought out Uncle Hugh, Uncle Sid has no children, my Uncle moved into Great Uncle Sid's farm house and built a bungalow for him ( which my uncle owned) again years before he died, my grandparents moved out of their farm house a bungalow was built for them and my uncle moved a farmer worker in to the farm house for years until my cousin moved in and lives in it now
Nellie moved into one of the farm cottages ( owned previously by my Grandfather) who passed everything onto his son ( my uncle) 15 yrs before my grandfather died. All her property and she had a string of properties were rented out for years proceeds to my uncle, which means no Wills and no tax...Oh they have everything well and truly tied up
Yes I noticed John was named after Thomas's father, one the marriage cert it says Thomas a "carting contractor" ( I think) retired
