  • Seeking Sxxxxx Bxxxxx

    I am trying to trace Sxxxxxxxxxxxl xxxxxxxxx, the only thing I know about him is an address in his Aunts Will dated 1948 which was xxxxx xxxxxxxx, Melton Mowbray. I have searched various records including the 1939 Census but can’t find any trace of him. I wondered if there was a directory for 1948 which might have him listed and if he was living with anyone.

    Thank you

    I have had to remove identifying details from the post since it is not possible to tell if the person is still alive. I am sure our members will have some suggestions on where to look. Caroline

      Hi

      If it is his aunts will, can you not trace her back and find out where he comes into the family and work from there.

      As we know his Aunt has passed away you could post her info if you need any help and we could follow it up for you and perhaps help

        Was he born about 1884? if so he is on 1939 register Melton and Belvoir R.D with spouse Martha and William Green b.1867
        There is another Samuel b 1906 with spouse Annie and family at Blaby R.D., Leicestershire

          Both those entries are not for the village concerned but of course he may have moved by 1949!

          I can't find the address on the 1939 and there doesn't appear to be any street names in Wartnaby.

          I think the best hope for this is to find the aunt and then research her tree for nephews.

            You can try the library in Melton Mowbray where they may hold the Electoral Register for that year. You may have to go in person to inspect it.

              Looking at 1939, think this might be him, the first few are the refs for census returns/Birth/Death



              Looked at this Samuel as there is a marriage to a Martha Dawson 1920 Q2 Grantham reg

              1891
              Parents Samuel and Mary A Bishop Thorpe Road, Melton Mowbray

              Samuel Bishop married Mary Spibey 27 Nov 1876 Thrussington
              Samuel's father is Nicholas Bishop Labourer

              First few are refs for Nicholas



              It's just a guess but wondered if it would help with anything written in the will.

                That was the one I was looking at yesterday but he died in 1945 before the person that had left him something in her will.

                Probably didn't know he had died or never thought to change the will.

                  Hi Lin

                  Thanks Lin but do feel I am a plonker as I read the will year wrong!

                    No need to feel a plonker because it is entirely possible that the person who died in 1948 did not know her nephew might have died. It happens all the time if people don't keep in touch.

                      Was the Will dated 1948 or just Executed in 1948 when the person died - it might have been written many years before.

                      If you give the details of the Aunt we might be able to find out more.

                        Many thanks for all the replies to this mystery. The only possible father I have for him is Samuel Bishop born 6 April 1881 in Liverpool, which is where the family come from, but I can’t find any trace of him after 1911. I have searched all the possible birth and marriage records without success and was hoping to find the Samuel mentioned in the Will maybe in an electoral register. I don’t live anywhere near Melton Mowbray unfortunately.

                          I have just reread it and it’s not actually a Will as she died intestate with no children. The probate document just names him as ‘the lawful nephew of the whole blood and one of the persons entitled to share in the estate of the said intestate’. She died 14 January 1948 in Liverpool, which is where the family were from and the document was dated 9 August 1948.

                            As the Aunt has died her name and birth year would be a great help in finding this family if you feel it OK to post her name and details.

                                I don’t think it would help really as I have all the rest of the family. The only one I can’t find any more about is her brother Samuel Bishop born 6 April 1881 in Liverpool who appears in the 1911 census as single but I can’t find any trace of him after that or anything about the nephew mentioned who lived in Wartnaby.

                                    Yes, I have seen your tree now on Ancestry but that background information is required to move forward.
                                    We were assuming, as you can see, that he was born perhaps in Melton but it's only today we now know he was from Liverpool.

                                      I’m not sure where the Samuel mentioned as getting a share of the estate was from only that his address was in Melton Mowbray. I was hoping he might appear in the electoral register from then.
