Lancashire / Hospital in Samlesbury??
« on: Thursday 20 December 18 16:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I am researching a Seed family of Garstang/Preston area. Parents Robert Seed and Jane Seed died within 6 months of each other in 1860/1861, leaving 8 children between ages 2 and 15.  Robert died in Kirkland, Jane in Preston. A son, William James Seed died the same year age 6 in Dec 1861 in Samlesbury (according to death cert.).  The informant of death on the certificate was the attending physician.I have found no family connection with  Samlesbury, so cannot work out what this child was doing there! I wondered if there was a hospital to which he might have been sent?
Any thoughts?

Many thanks - I have tried to find the Register Collection Books on archive.org, but with no success as yet!

Does anyone know if there is a look-up service at Lancashire Record Office?

Family History Beginners Board / What if there wasn't a Will?
« on: Tuesday 06 November 18 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether any information can be found about an estate if the person died without having made a Will?
I'm sure there must have to be some sort of legal process.  But is there any record of this that would be useful to family history research?

Many thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know what WBCM means after a name?  I think the person concerned was a doctor.
He died in 1916, so I guess this is an old use of letters?

Thank you.
