Thank You Mabel that as solved that for me.

That Mansell family are no relation to me I have not even got an Henry in my tree.

I have a Richard Mansell born 1851 married a Caroline Emma Boon born 1859. They are together at Cherrywood Rd in Birmingham at one time. I think Richard is the one that died in 1921 in the Probate gives the address 89, Bankes Road, Small Heath but he leaves his money to a Frederick Claire builder not his wife.

So because I can't find Caroline's death I wondered if she remarried.

Just to clarify Frederick Claire was executor & Richard's estate was probated to him for distribution according to his wishes.
He was not a beneficiary in that he was left all the money.
The 1920 Electoral Roll has Richard living at the Bankes Rd. address but Caroline is not listed with him although she was eligible to vote.

Okay Jim i have never had any dealings with probate. I have learnt something.

Thank you.

do you know where her family were in later years? Would she have any reason to be in Hull, as there's a Caroline E Mansell death there in 1938 - age is about right

Hello Mabel.

Yes I did see that you are right it looks the right age and Caroline E. Her parents were Isaac Boon and Caroline Emma Richards. Not got anything at all on them.

They had 4 children 2 of which died before 1911. Of the other two John Sydney born 24/2/1890 i Sutton Coldfield was in the Royal Navy, the last sighting of him on Ancestry 28/10/1913 Blenheim, Harwich Run which I think means deserted. I can not find a death for him.

Edith born 28/7/1886 in Saltley, Birmingham. baptised 27/8/1886 St Margaret's, Ward End, Aston. Last sighting of her 1901 aged 14 living at Sowe, Warwickshire with her family. Must have got married couldn' find a death.
