Index of Wills
« on: Monday 11 July 11 19:33 BST (UK) »
Being unused to having an ancestor who had something to leave, I have been optimistically entering names into the National Probate Calender Index of Wills (Ancestory), and have come up with a match. :o

Alice Gibson d. 1896 (South Shields).  She was the widow and daughter of Master Mariners, so am presuming she may have been left relatively comfortably off if she has left a Will.

I would be very grateful for a look up to see what it says.

Regards

KA

The death is registered in South Shields.   But I suppose she could have been elsewhere, within reason.  Am sure of year.

There's only one Alice Gibson in 1896 in the National Probate Calendar.  She died on 11 Feb 1896 in Cumberland, and was a widow.  The probate was proved in Carlisle on 11 November.  She left £7858 and six shillings to an Alice Maude Gibson, spinster.
RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.
