  • What a disappointment!

    I received my next lot of wills today which took 5 weeks(not too bad) but it doesn't do to get excited.
    The one I was excited about was an ancestor who was a tea dealer. He died in 1875 and left £35,000. According to the cash converter that translates into £1,690,850.00 in todays money. I thought it would be very interesting to see who he favoured and who he didn't.
    Guess what. He didn't leave a will
    I got one sheet of paper which was the letter of administration. It just stated his name and address,his wifes name and his son who was dealing with the probate.
    What a disappointment.

    That's a real disappointment. But you'd had to ask - it just might have had something useful.
