When was the actual will signed?  Was he a beneficiary & was any address given for him at that time?

What date was Probate granted?

Trying to narrow a date down

Ok, the will was signed 20th April 1940 (with this address info in Ruthin).
A codicil added 2nd Sept 1944 adding another niece to the beneficiaries.
His Aunty died 2nd Feb 1945, and probate granted 13 July 1945.

If his address hasn’t changed as executor of the will then he’d still be in Ruthin at Anchor Inn?

The Anchor Inn (Rhos Street) is in the 1939 Register. Two redacted lines beneath an entry for a woman (DoB 1916) listed as Domestic Help. Not sure if the redacted lines belong to the Anchor Inn.

Aug 1940 newspaper mention for "Miles Timson Lewis. Anchor Inn, Ruthin. who was fined £1 for not having the sidelamps of a car partially obscured".

Yvie - this link should assist with licensed victualler research: http://www.pubhistorysociety.co.uk/PDF-Dowloads/ancestors.pdf

Thank you for this. Think I need to confirm who the Licensed Victualler was between 1940-1945 at least. Is there a specific directory I need to go to on this pdf (bit confusing which direction to go in)?

The Brewery History site says the pub was run by Salt & co brewers.

Golden nugget will be where to find the directory!? 

Can’t find any positive results looking for quarter sessions or recognisances so far, but perhaps the newspapers aren’t all available.

He seems to vanish!

Hey, I’m searching for John Peters Assinder’s grandson, John Thomas Jones, if you happen to come across information about what happened to him.
I’ve added this family (my father-in-law’s ancestors) to my tree on ancestry site, it’s called DNA Research 2 Wales, happy to share more info if you need it.

Hello,

I'm getting a little stuck not knowing what terms I should be researching for an antiques dealer/ furniture shop from the 1960s to 1970s in Manchester. I thought I could find what I was looking for in one of the directories on Ancestry or Find My Past, but I can't seem to figure out what to look for exactly.

Does anyone know if such a directory exists for Rochdale Road, Manchester?

Many thanks!

These births all have Reilly MMN Butler and were registered in Salford

Marion Jun 1906
George Dec 1909
Gerald Sep 1912

Gerald is a definite, I have his birth certificate.

Marion and George are new to me! I could only glean the Butler name from the FreeBMD website, have you found Marion and George on other sites? They would fit with birth time frames... So far I have a gap between 1900 and 1907 babies.
