Hi All,
Sorry to be thick - have read all I can about this but still cannot work out how to do it - do not have memberships at the moment but happy to go postal route (I think)
Is it best to go for the Will or Probate or does one get both? Which one tells you the most ?Probate. Can you get one without the other? How do I find out whether Canterbury or York (are there only 2?)
I want to get the Will (Probate would be good also) of
1. William Foster b 12 December 1880 Forton Barracks, Alverstoke, Hampshire - d 13 September 1942 Clarendon Hill, Salisbury (?Plain), Wiltshire. I would also like to get the Coroners Report on this chap - is it possible and how do I do it? Everything on this chap appears to have disappeared i.e. military record for WWI (I have AB2 record) and Home Guard Record! I am not sure if he would have been regarded as dying in action - pretty sure Home Guard "non-hostility" mishaps are not considered "in action" even if there is a war on.
2. James Rowland b c1763-1769) - Place of birth: Goodness knows where - ?Montgomeryshire ?Military - d 17 July 1846 Church Chase, Great Baddow, Essex - I am not sure if he made a Will but I imagine it is possible to check - he had been in the Military and they normally made Wills I believe.
I would be eternally grateful for any help or advice anyone could give me - the second one, in particular, (Rowland) would knock down an extremely thick brick wall.
