Gday I'm from Western Australia and we (Rootschat) have been chasing down my dad's background. We've chased him to Walter and Kathleen Seale's family. The man's name is Robert. Is some one able to do a search for Walter's will. It could help to identify if Robert is his son. The death was in Bengal in 1937. Many thanks BettyBoopits :)

Hi,
Findmypast has the death at Cawnpore for Walter Earle Seale, but no signs of the will

Hi All,
I am one of the many trying to help with this very big search through India, Australia and England. ;D
If no will is offered on FindMyPast, does that automatically mean there was not a will for Walter Earle SEALE?
His wife was Kathleen Anne SEALE.

Thank you.

Hi,
I'm a bit late to this inquiry - all I know is what is above. Do you have the details you need re Walter's marriage etc, the fact that his father was called Robert Henry etc (making sense for his son to be called Robert)?
-

I think it would unwise to assume that. There may well be errors and omissions in FindMyPast's database.
Why not just email the archivists at the BL and ask them to check the wills card-index? They will sometimes do quick lookups for no charge, especially if the enquirer is overseas.

I got the Walter Earle marriage from FindMyPast, but ancestry has 2 births & baptisms entries for Walter & Kathleen, which I can't access as my membership is UK only.

To make it easier for you. As you can appreciate after a couple of months of searching (by many people, bless them), we have narrowed it down to a few things that we haven't knowledge of.
1 - Proof of Birth/Baptism for Robert (possibly Henry) Seale. Son to Walter and Kathleen Seale 1886-1899
2 - A Will for Walter Earle Seale who died 26 Feb 1937, aged 80. Buried at Cawnpore, Bengal, India

3 - A Will for Kathleen Anne Seale who died 21 Dec 1925, aged 58. Buried at Cawnpore, Bengal, India
https://familysearch.org/ark:61903/1:1:FGKT-XN5
4 - Aside from the army record of the 19th Battery, Royal Field Artillery, 37837. Date of enlistment 26 July 1905, any other army records
Many thanks in advance for your time, trouble and efforts. Betty

G'day. I'm seeking some information on a Robert Edward Seale, (born circa 1889) who worked for Trevillian and Clarke in India. I have little information on the man, and wondered if anyone can help with a background on him. Muchly appreciated, Betty

hi I’m new to this and am also seeking re Robert Edward Seale who married in Cawnpore 1920 to Marjorie Gertrude Wilkins aged 18. He was older probably in his 30s his wife having been found for him by the nuns at? He had two children Trevor born 1921 and Marjorie born 1928. Any intel huge. Chandler :)

Chandler, (767638) what is your connection to this Robert Seale? I believe he MAY be related to me (love to think it was my Dad). I will chase up what I have on that side of the family tomorrow. We are in Cyprus so there will be a time difference. Is there some way of private messaging? Cheers, Betty

hi Betty. Fantastic for such a quick response. I am researching a novel and authorised to follow up Robert Seale who is the grandfather 0f my client. Robert (known as Edward) was born in 1889 and had a drapers store in Cawnpore India. He had two sisters and died on or about 1960 when there was a court case to contest his will. He left all his money to his estranged wife Marjorie and his son Trevor fought the will and won all the Seale money. He was a doctor and returned to Uk in 1950s. Private messaging would be great but I don’t know how to suggest that using this forum? I’m currently in South Africa nut back in UK end March. All best.
