Scotland / Cut off with a shilling!
« on: Friday 13 July 12 15:48 BST (UK)  »
In an ancestor's will of 1862 he left his money etc to his wife and family, except his son from his first marriage to whom he left "one shilling as he has cost me more than the rest of my family".  The boy was only 19, so I would love to know what he had done.  Any ideas where I might look please?  Our ancestor was a doctor in Glasgow, so what newspapers might I look up, or is there anywhere else I could investigate?

Warwickshire / William Britt - anyone know him please
« on: Sunday 25 May 08 16:57 BST (UK)  »
I am fairly new to genealogy and have had some successes, but left it too late to ask family!  My aunt Catherine married this William Britt, but I don't know when, where, and I don't know when he died.  I have a feeling (only because they married in a Registry Office and grownups talking) he was married before and was older than she was.  She was born in 1906 in Bournbrook and lived in Selly Oak with William.  Any help welcomed please.
