Farmhouse tragedy
« on: Thursday 22 March 18 11:51 GMT (UK) »
 Greenslade family - Cloatley Farm, Hankerton, Wiltshire
Sadly, Mildred Greenslade (aged 85) perished in the terrible fire which engulfed their farmhouse in 2002. Her two brothers were Peter and Michael/?Richard-does anyone know the outcome of the brothers please? Their father's name was Oliver and his wife was Frances Alice (nee Reynolds). They lived in the Minety and Hankerton areas of Wiltshire.

Only one brother mentioned at inquest (could still be alive).
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

It's possible that the younger brother was alive up until at least 2011, living in Malmesbury in what could be a Home.  (From electoral registers)
