I don't know what the connection is between these two people - none that I know of but obviously there must be some. Margaret left George W.R. Foster over £8,000 when she died - probate was on 19.2.1923, she having died in March 1922. It had been thought possible that her family had contested the Will but it appears to have stood as written.
I have a photo of Margaret Sarah Menzies but can find out nothing definite about her. She was possibly born in Scotland (she has a Scottish name) but there is absolutely no proof of this. She died in Forden, Shropshire in 1922.
George William Rowland Foster was the Headmaster of the local school but retired by then - I had thought the school could be the reason for the money.
His wife was a nurse and it crossed my mind that she had looked after this lady before she died and perhaps that was a reason.
I have not found a marriage for Margaret BUT she has a daughter.
Her actual death is registered as Forden/Montgomeryshire/March1922/Vol llb/page 258
George William Rowland Foster b 1869 died in 130.
Is it possible to find an actual Will on ancestry.co under "WILLS" because I cannot find one?
Grateful for any crumbs of help. Have tried the London Gazette but I have never managed to get that website to work for me.
