Hi, I think that it must have been in the fifties. I was born 1941. my father who died 1961, unknown to me cashed the bonds and spent the money. I would guess that miss Spackman died in the mid fifties, so it seems that the will would be the best way to start? Any other ideas?

where to start to find my godmother. I only know her as Miss Spackman. She lived at 4 to 14 Broadway,Earlsdon,Coventry in the 1940/50s. In her will she left me some war bonds.
The problem i have is without a first name how can i trace her death,will,etc.
Could i learn anything from my christening details?

Thanks Colin, my Richard and Elizabeth moved to Fronuchaf,(farm).Cilcennin in the twenties, Richard died there in 1830,(buried Cilcennin). according to census Elizabeth was fourteen when she married Richard in Llanilar.   Stated that they were both of the parish of Llanilar, but of course that doesn't mean a lot. Richard states that he was a farmer, no other info on the wedding records.
i am stuck as to where to go from here.
in the will of Elizabeth she mentions a James Morgans nephew born in London
any help would be much appreciated
