Hello again

Wow !!   The Letters of Administration file in the Estate of Ida Muriel ANGELL (formerly EDWARDS) contains an enormous amount of information which will give you great insight into her life.

The file contains numerous documents -- Marriage certificates (2) for Ida Muriel / her death certificate /  birth certificates for her children / marriage certificate for her eldest daughter ...etc.

The content of the file (55 pages in all) spells out her life's happenings, very clearly ... but should you wish to have further information or explanation, please contact us again here on your thread
