First, the facts as I know them -
My ggpa died 1928, ggma died 1940
Among my gma's papers was an undated document entitled:
ESTATES of Mr & Mrs GILPIN
EXECUTOR'S ACCOUNT
The final item reads:
One fourth of above balance £1225.18.0 £306. 9. 6
Gpa had 4 siblings, one of whom died 1930, I assume the 4 surviving brothers shared the inheritance.
A credit item listed is:
Sale of 11 Wolbro' Street £1000.0.0
(Gma died at 11 Wolborough Street in 1940)
Therefore the a/c was issued after ggma’s death
However ...
Generous Jill located ggma’s will for me, it reads:
1940 Ellen Gilpin of 11 Wolborough Street Newton Abbott Devonshire widow died 26 November 1940 Probate Llandudno 20 December to Tom Henry Gilpin retired civil servant Effects £72 18s
(Tom was eldest son)
????????
Can anyone enlighten me, please
