Wills. Don't you just love them. Some give you a big HIGH. And others give you a big LOW.
OH sent for her Grandfathers will last year , it turned out to be a large skeleton .
The executor had not followed the wishes of his father and kept the lot , and stole his sisters share.
This took a lot of unravelling.
I can not say any more as there are living people involved.
On my side there was a memory from the past that my Father's Aunt had left him some money in her will , this was enough for the deposit on my parents house.
After 3 goes I eventually got the right death certificate and sent for the will.
Sure enough both my parents were mentioned and the amount would have been enough for the deposit.
But the interesting part was the lady who received the largest share , who was Kathleen Daisy White ? Eventually I traced her back and found that she was the Grand Daughter of one of my Grandfathers brothers. Up to this point I had no idea that Arthur White existed , I had all the rest of the siblings but had missed him. A whole new branch existed.
Now I have to trace all the other people mentioned in the will.
Just when it seemed to be getting boring there are new avenues to explore.
There are more wills on the way , so I should be busy over the coming dark nights.
:D
