Do you have the probate record of 1941 for his grandmother Alice who died in 1914 giving administration to James Roy MCConville, tannery engineer

and in the same year administration of Mark to James

Yes, thanks, again LancsAnn

Curious that probate was granted 12 years after Mark Roye died - which is very late and thus suggest some uncertainty or dispute as to who was the beneficiary. Not that there was a great fortune to inherit. Still, very strange.

Hi LancsAnn or anyone else

Ancestry is throwing out a possible second marriage for James Roye McConville to a Jean E Singleton in St. Helens 2Q/1977. Can you anyone find any details, please? Can't see it on lan-opc.

Best wishes and thanks

John

[lancsann]

It was either a registry office marriage or non Cof E so probably no details other than ordering the certificate

Dear all who have been following this thread

It has a happy ending, at least for me. I have been able to contact one of James Roye’s Daughters who has sent me a wonderful pic of her grandmother Cassie.

Best and thanks again to all.

John
