Warwickshire / Witton Cemetery, Birmingham - 1903 Burial Register Query
« on: Thursday 22 February 24 17:49 GMT (UK)  »

I have a copy of a burial taken from the burial register for Witton Cemetery, Birmingham - March 1903.

There are 3 columns - headed - "Special", "Consecrated" and "Unconsecrated".

My Ancestor has the letter "S" alongside his entry and under the column "Special".

Does anyone know what that refers to or has come across that before.

Warwickshire / Re: Doris Gertrude Youle marriage
« on: Saturday 30 December 23 17:00 GMT (UK)  »

Doris's ?first husband Harry Ronald Youle dies in 1957 in Northamptonshire and in 1958 Administration is granted to his widow  - Doris Gertrude Youle.

Doris dies in 1959 and Administration is awarded to George T Coombes.

George dies in 1961 and probate granted to Westminster Bank.

1965 Administration is revoked re Doris's probate/will and awarded to her son Harry Ronald.

Coincidentally in 1965 (on the same page that shows Administration has been revoked re Doris's will) there is an entry for Harry Ronald Youle - died 1957 Northamptonshire - Administration has now been awarded to Harry Ronald Youle, and advising "Former Grant P.R 13th May 1958".

Now the following is purely speculation on my part but I am guessing Harry Youle and Doris never divorced, neither did George T Coombes and his wife Clara Osborne.

So Doris and George lived together as man and wife until their deaths.

Their son Harry R Youle may have been upset that his father had left his estate to Doris, who in turn left her estate to George, so perhaps Harry (junior) decided to challenge both his father and mothers wills rather than his fathers estate ultimately being left to George T Coombes.

Maybe whoever registered the death presumed  she was married to George Coombes.

It may be worthwhile sending for her death certificate to find out who registered her death.

You don’t need to be related or married to a deceased person in order to register their death.

The same applies with regards becoming an administrator to someone’s will.

Yes, thats correct.

George was named in Doris's will as an administrator - in other words he needed to administer her estate and to carry out the wishes of Doris as set out in her will.

In 1960-1961 George is listed on the electoral roll living at 22 College Road, Handsworth with Doris E Coombes.

Update***

I have a feeling the electoral roll information refers to the previous year - 1959 -  so Doris E Coombes could actually be Doris G Coombes.

Maybe George Thomas was ill or too old to administer Doris's will.
