The Coalville death was Ernest Richard as per probate entry - see page 41 of 1966 entry

Nothing for 1958 entry to confirm middle name

My sisters asked me to thank you for the information (she's at work). She's now found him on the 1939 register in Coalville.

The Coalville Ernest's estate was probated to Ernest Victor Smith. Does this ring any bells.

Hello Jim1, I've just been told that Ernest Victor Smith was Ernest Richard Smiths son, so thank you for that.  Ernest snr lived in Leicestershire having been born in West Bromwich and was a councillor, but I know nothing else about him. His siblings stayed in Birmingham.

Thank you for that,  obviously dad (95) has got mixed up with the names. Great Uncle Ernie was a bit of a mystery to us girls although dad remembers going to see him when he was a young lad. At least we know a bit more about his family now.
