Someone on Ancestry has in their tree a Rita Isobel Rubery (married name Sims) b 1923 Somerset, Bermuda. No parents listed, but fits your info?

Thank you.

Slightly puzzled as to why you think the date is incomplete.  It says One thousand nine hundred and thirty therefore 1930. 

Is there some other reason why it can't be 1930?

My apologies. I was expecting to see another number after the thirty. my mistake.

Well it was short, but very sweet.
Winifred was in Bermuda, and was now Mrs. Ruberry.
Mystery solved.

Thank you. Yes. Of course now I want to know where and when they married.  :) I have found him in the navy.

The year of the will? We shall never know because the solicitors omitted the final number ie 193-?

Worth every penny  :)
Spot the solicitors' mistake.
Edited - they did not make a mistake.

Before I send for the will, I just wanted to mention another family story that has just come to light - that Winifred died in the 1940s, possibly in 1945, in a railway crash.

It's so long since I sent for a will, would someone remind me, please, where to send for it? Thank you.

Thank you.

Something I had not known before - I understand, from an elderly relative, that Winifred had a daughter Rita who died in Bermuda in 1996. By putting solely the name Rita who died in Bermuda in 1996 in ancestry, a few family trees appear which include some interesting photos https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/73665660/person/30340942171/facts
However, her mother seems to have been known by the name Henrietta.
