Devon / General Caunter died intestate 1930s?
« on: Tuesday 22 January 19 17:13 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching my grandmother's Caunter family from Devon.  My mother told me she contested the estate of a very wealthy "General Caunter" possibly in the 1930s or 1940s(?) who had no will.  Another woman also contested and was successful.  My grandmother (Lily Beatrice Caunter 1896 -1976)did not succeed because of an illegitimate birth.  I would love to know more about this and would welcome any help establishing who this "General Caunter" was.

Devon / no cause of death on death certificate for John Caunter
« on: Sunday 18 February 18 17:05 GMT (UK)  »
There is no cause of death on the death certificate of my 3 times great grandfather John Caunter who died aged 23 in Ashburton, Devon on 8th November 1860 and was found by Sarah Tapper in North Street, Ashburton.  He was a tin/copper miner according to his marriage and death certificate but I don't know which mine(s) he worked in.  Does anyone know of any accidents in the mines near Ashburton that occurred around this time? Or any suggestions how I could find out more about how he died.  Thanks.
