Probate help please. xx
« on: Friday 06 January 17 11:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
Ive been a member of Ancestry for years, this Christmas I decided to try FindMyPast instead. Typical as Ancestry now has a record I cannot see without getting a subscription again but it seems silly paying out for just one record, so I'm hoping you lovely people can help me. I have found a probate for a Robert Wilkinson who died 27 Feb 1941 in Grimsby lincolnshire, could someone please have a look and let me know what it says please. Also his son John Harry Wilkinson who died 21 October 1928 in Grimsby Lincolnshire, his probate is also there. I know its cheeky asking but plurleeeees can someone help.
Thankyou in advance

You can search directly on the HMCTS site without a sub and order with them if necessary

you'll need to change the date range tab before searching as it defaults to the most recent entries

Robert Wilkinson 1941 is on this page

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=wilkinson&yearOfDeath=1941&page=9#calendar


John Harry's entry is on this page but he did not leave a will, he died intestate, which is why a letter of administration was granted
