I realise this looks as if it were DEV based, but in fact it concerns part of my Stoke Climsland WEARING family. I found this Probate entry:- 1900 William Henry Wearing of Plymouth, journeyman coachbuilder d 31 Oct 1900 Probate Exeter 22 Nov to John Wearing, Chemist. Effects £881 9s 5d But then I noticed this:- 1925 Wearing Wm Hy of 40 Tracey St Plymouth d 31 Oct 1900. Admon (with Will) Exeter 17 Nov to William Edwin WEARING, skilled lab. Effects £652 10s. Former grant DR Exeter 22 Nov 1900 William Edwin was William Henry's son, but I can't yet place John the Chemist. Could a VKS please tell me a possible reason for this admon being dragged up again 25 years after his death? And maybe also why someone had been nibbling away at the proceeds in the interim? Kind regards Joy in the Garden of England
Hi Joy It means the original grant was not acted upon, the estate was not finalised At a later date, often when something was in the process of being sold and found to be in someone elses name The estate at first was estimated to be £XXX but when it came to be administered was only found to be worth £YYY Property was left to deteriorate for example so worth less In the first grant the two names are executors, presumably a trusted friend or relation of the deceased Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 31/10/2014 22:32, Joy Hungerford via wrote: > I realise this looks as if it were DEV based, but in fact it concerns part of my Stoke Climsland WEARING family. > > I found this Probate entry:- > 1900 > William Henry Wearing of Plymouth, journeyman coachbuilder d 31 Oct 1900 > Probate Exeter 22 Nov to John Wearing, Chemist.
