Percy (Percival) died 10.4.1956 - no will - administration to Jane.  He only left £85.

Oh yes I think I (eventually) found that record.  I think Percy and Jane ran a Rest Home in Hove in Langdale Road, although Jane's last address at time of death was Norman Road closeby.  Think it's still a rest home..  Jane was a Nurse (midwife) I think then a general nurse who left Scotland for London.  She ran her own "Levack Clinic" in London a Spa/health clinic for mud baths, colonics, all sort of remedies for all sorts of ailments... I believe this was quite popular in the 40s/50s.  Very interesting life it looks like..

You are welcome.    Bet you can’t wait to see it🤣🤣

Hi, yes but curious at the same time.  She was quite an entrepreneur of her time.  Lovely that she lived to a good age at 93 bless.

She left a will so if you download a copy for £1.50 you can see who she left her estate to.

Thank you for replying... sorry how do I download a copy of her will?

From my earlier reply - if you give more info re her name & when she died it will help with your query.

You don’t say when she died.  Does the entry show probate or administration?

If she left a will - You need to download a copy as the probate entry does not give those details online.  You can leave your estate to whoever you want to - friends or charities etc - whether or not you have family

Hi, she died in 1993 (widow).  It doesn't show administration.   It's a Probate Calendar Record entry, just shows name, address, date of death, probate town, date of probate (3/3/93) not exceeding an amount and a 11 digit number/letter....Many thanks for your reply.

Some entries prior to 1995 will sometimes show the name of the person to whom probate/admin was granted.  From 1996 they don’t.   None of the details online show disposal of assets

Hi, thanks for reply.  I've had a further look and it's a National Probate Calendar record which just gives her name, address, date of death, name of town and calendar date of probate with an 11 digit number+letters...  sorry that's all I can see.

Administration is different so it depends what you have found & when
