Thanks mazi, that’s very helpful. Next job is working out the uncles and aunts! There could be quite a few.

Thanks mazi will read that now. My friend’s mother and her brother are still alive but i’m trying (more for interest than anything else really as the company is obviously doing the work) to get a picture for the family while they wait. It’s been a fascinating and complex branch of the tree.

The Common Room / Intestate

Hi, anyone know (or can let me have a link to a site which explains) how an estate is decided when a person dies intestate? Have seen programmes like heir hunters on tv but never been anywhere near a situation like it before. I appreciate they create family trees and contact everyone before settling the estate.

Have a friend whose mother may well be involved in an estate where her (deceased) father was a first cousin to the man who has recently died. The family had never heard of the deceased man but i have now found out how they are related, but wondering how far / wide these things go (his parents are dead, he had no siblings and never married).

Thanks,

Deirdre

Try Warminster Council, or the Library.
They are unlikely to be online.

Thanks 😀

Wiltshire / Electoral registers for 1960s

« on: Friday 05 April 24 18:06 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know where we might find electoral registers for Warminster? My husband is looking to trace where he lived as a youngster - his father was in the army and we think they were at Houldsworth Ave but are keen to find out when. Is there a records centre or local history centre where they might be? Sadly not found them online but hopefully the likely address might be a big help.

Thanks

The Common Room / Re: Marriage in 2 locations

Thanks Carole, I applied for the probate last week (and John Bowen's too in case it helped, the £1.50 cost makes it great), just waiting for their arrival.

The 1939 was very helpful thanks as it confirmed she was the lady i'm looking for. Given her location in 1939 I guess the Cardiff marriage is more likely than the London one, just seems a bit coincidental to me.

But yes, she was born Gwenhwyfar Morgan, married John Bowen Morgan, then a Jones, then John Bowen.
