Hope then that you get recompensed for the efforts you have been to to trace her if she failed to keep in touch with her godparent for all these years!

What does 1994 refer to. Is it the year of death, year the Will was written, year of execution?.
What does Nicola receive?. Something substantial such as money or a personal item,  a memento?
How does this compare with what other beneficiaries receive?. What age is the deceased person, godparent of Nicola?

Looking forward to an answer to these questions from OP.

Could a solicitor contact the GP surgery[ies] close to last known address, including a letter to be sent on to Nicola? GPs records will have NHS number and maybe NI number, through which a current [British] location and address can be found [not by ordinary mortals]. This happened to a friend who had lost touch with his family; when his father died 20 years later and left him a legacy, a solicitor wrote to mother/father's GP who was able to contact authorities - who located friend through NI & NHS numbers - and the letter was sent on by [I think] DWP o rmay have been sent to current GP. He received the letter within a few weeks.

If Nicola has moved abroad - even more difficult!

I noticed his name in a few newspaper articles - in lists of curious names. However one mentioned that he had appeared in Ealing Police Court "recently" in March 1900.

Ooo interesting, thanks. I'll take a look.

Looking at Peter's side by side shot, I don't think there is any doubt. Same person.

Thanks.

I inherited the pics from a son of John Bunyan Parsonage [Geoffrey 1897 - 1994] who my sister cared for in his later years as he married our aunt as a second wife. So i'm pretty sure the older pic is his father.

Many thanks for all your answers, helps clear up who the sitter is.
