Cromwell Road still exists and hasn't changed much since 1921.

I have walked past this grave in the Broadway Cemetery, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, twice a day for many years and I had every intention of sharing, I have finally gotten round to doing that, ironically with the anniversary of his death 105 years ago.
 I wonder if any of Percy's family have visited or even have photos? What happened to his wife Annie, did they have any children?
I do hope the photo is seen by one of Percy's descendants.
Last November with it being 100 years of the British Legion, my friend and I placed poppies on all of the 63 war graves in the cemetery, Percy included.

If the right person, Clare Fraser married Robert Saxby in Islington District Q1 1905

In 1911, they are at 44 Richmond Road Islington

Thank you.

Not all Wills are required to go to Probate. If the estate is small is one for example. If property is owned jointly, depending on how it is held,  it can automatically pass to the owner.

Insurance policies if they have a named recipient, are not counted as part of the estate. So you see there are a lot of variables.

I understand there not being a will for my grandad as everything would pass to my grandma but because of the family dynamics with parents and siblings not speaking I would very surprised for there not to be a will.

Very possible. Not everyone makes a Will.

Thank you. Just checking if my conclusion of no record of a will meant there was no will.
It is my grandparent's wills I am looking for. It would now seem that if there was no will the eldest daughter pocketed everything, my dad and his other sister received nothing. A bit naughty and underhand.
