Title: George Crago death? 1901-1911 - Liskeard
Post by: Philezra on Thursday 01 May 14 20:02 BST (UK)
Sorry, another death question - he doesn't appear to be in the 1911 census but neither can i find a death for him.

If anyone can help me out, I'd be very grateful.

thank you

 This may  be him , born c 1836 ?

Deaths Sep 1913   

Crago  George  77  Redruth  5c 230

 If this is  him  ,  then  maybe  his surname  is  mistranscribed  on 1911,

Have found who I think that you are looking for. In 1911 it is possible that he is called William Henry Cargo (note the spelling of his surname) born St Austell ,age 75 and living in Camborne If he is correct I will private message details.

Maryanne - I didn't receive a notification of your message - it seems to be a totally different name - look forward to you contacting me.

Hi Phil

The National Probate Registry is available through A*y.

This is the link to the govt site in order to obtain a copy of a will https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance/searching-for-probate-records (https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance/searching-for-probate-records)

I thinks it's gone up recently to £10, I'm sure that when I last looked it was £6 and I didn't order the one I meant to  :(

I looked at the actual census and the surname is Crago and not Cargo, so that was a mistake on FindMyPast.The address of the George Crago that died in 1913 is in the same area as the address given in 1911.
