Cork cutter is a good spot.  I think that confirms they are different people.  The fact that one of them is married and the other left everything to his sister also suggests this.

Many thanks for your help.

Obviously, this is a very popular name.

I have found Patrick O'Callaghan from Kanturk (where my ancestors came from) listed as dying on 5th Mar 1894 in Cork District Lunatic Asylum in the Civil Records - married, age 36.

I have also found the probate for Patrick O'Callaghan who died 5th March 1895 in Cork, address given as Blarney Street, Cork.  Beneficiary is his sister Ellen.  His occupation is listed as a cutter - my ancestor came from a family of stone cutters.

The date is the same, but a year apart.  Is this just coincidence or could it be the same person with an explanation why one of the years is incorrect?

Many thanks

Mike

This is all great, thank you very much.

I had some of this detail, but much of it is new to me.

I have found the probate details of my aunt Ellen Nagle (nee Devereaux) - died 20 Feb 1983 in Selsey, West Sussex.  Probate was granted 14 June 1983.

I can't find her death registered anywhere.  Is there a reason it wouldn't have been registered?

She was almost certainly a Roman Catholic, quite possibly born in Ireland.

Her husband was Garrett Nagle - 16 Oct 1915 (Co. Cork) to 29 Jun 1992 (Selsey).

They were married in 1937 and spent much of their married life in Ealing.

There is a Helen Nagle registered in 1983 in Ealing, but she is buried with John Nagle, another relative of mine, so I have ruled her out.
