Advice required please with 1934 Will

[Steve C]

Sarah Elizabeth's probate was granted to William HALL hosiery counterman & William THORPE.
Who was William in relation to Sarah and John? Son?
Who was William THORPE?   I see he is at the address of her death in 1939.

Thank you very much for your reply Mckha489

William Hall was Sarah and John`s youngest son, William Thorpe was their son in law ( he married Sarah and John`s youngest daughter Ethel. Sarah was living with William and Ethel Thorpe when she passed away 27.02.1934 )

Hope this helps

OK, so he must still have been alive then as surely one of them would have known if not.  The probate summary clearly says wife of, not widow of.

Did John have a daughter named Sarah?

Sarah & Hannah are interchangeable.

Unfortunately no children named Sarah.

Think I might have to wait until the 1921 Census comes out. Might find out a few more answers then.

Not sure if you missed it but I enquired when the will was written?

The way it's worded isn't the norm for a couple still together in my view.

I'm of the belief they were separated & his whereabouts unknown or whether he was alive unknown as if he'd disappeared?

Hi Annie,

Sorry my fault, got carried away with the details of my reply timed at 19.27 yesterday 

The will was written 17.01.1934.

I'm wondering if you've checked GRO for a daughter you might not have known about as all the info. does point to the 1929 death?

Same age/yr of birth, same occ. 1894, 1911, the 1929 death & same area known...

"His second marriage was to Sarah Elizabeth in 1894, he was listed as Frame Work Knitter"

"The last definite mention of John was the 1911 Census, he was listed as FWK aged 48"

"John Hall died 31/12/1929 age 67 (1862) Framework Knitter  grave B190" Barrow on Soar

"BTW my John Hall was born 1862"

"Had a look at the 1929 info on line, John as widower and Hannah Darby his lawful daughter"

Do you have the details of Johns first marriage? were there children?


Just found couple of births for Hannah Hall  Barrow. going to check on BoS registers see if father/mother given.

Ok
1.  from Freebmd  sept 1878 BoS  not on Barrow registers - suggests registration district but not Barrow itself;


2. Hannah Hall b.23/11/1890  d/o John Hall, FWK & Elizabeth. BoS.
