Hi
A major source of the manx millionnaire's wealth was a significant bequest left by his aunt Annie Quale Townend (see attached photograph) who died in Christchirch New Zealand in 1914. Her estate was valued at c £800,000 and a large part of this (after stamp and estate duties of £190,225) was left to Thomas Hamilton Moore, her cousin.
I am trying to track down the document of the bequest which included a special duty stamp.
