Hi Everyone.
Bit out of my depth here as ive never had to work with anything other than England or Wales before, and just hoping someone can give me some advice which way to turn next.
One of dads uncles was buried overseas (at the time we didnt know where), and as a child I remember seeing a photo of his grave with a lot of people gathered around it.
Whilst taking a break from one branch, I moved on to dads side of the tree and found a probate record for him. His name was Edward John Wallis born in Bethnal Green, London in 1891. Here is what the probate says:
WALLIS the reverend Edward John otherwise John Edward of Missions of Seamen Ingeniero White Bahia Blanca Argentina and of 1, Queen Margarets Grove London. Died 15 Feb 1946 at Bahia. Administration 9 Apr to Alice May Adams (his sister). Former Grant P.R. 18 Sep 1946.
Ive never seen the 'otherwise' in a probate before. Googling his name and Bahia and Seamans Mission seems to be particularly unhelpful. Can anyone give any advice as to what avenues to go down now?
Thanks,
David.
