Hi Groom,

There are no addresses for the people that received the estate, just those who witnessed the will?

Hi,

I think I've found the marriage for Brunhilda Lucia HARRIS to Thomas FIGG


Brunhelda L HAMS
May 1989    Bromley    11  793
Thomas A FUGG


There is only a transcription at Ancestry and FindMyPast so I can't see what is actually on the index but I think that the place it occurred and the similarities in the names and make it a very good candidate


Although I can't see a death registration it looks like Thomas died just six months after Brunhilde,

In Brunhilde's will whose sister is mentioned?


Regards,
Daisy

[groom]

Good find, Daisy. I agree, it has to be them.

Oh wow Daisy Thanks will look that up, and hopefully get a marriage cert.

The sister is Brunhildes sister,Erna Hoppe, no mention of any children with the name Harris surname of previous husband

[groom]

How did we miss that - probate for his will is on the same page as Brunhilde's?

Thanks Groom

Yes found that while ago i have ordered that, I wonder where Hams and Fugg comes from, I obviously know that someone has read Harris as Hams!

[groom]

Does look very similar in some type faces doesn't it?

[Daisypetal]

Does the will say if Erna is Miss or Mrs HOPPE?

HI Daisy

No it doesn't say
