Hi Wandering round the Internet, I came across a website containing the London Gazette (and the Edinburgh Gazette and Belfast Gazette). It is at http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ My usual search term for any website is TOGHILL, and this brought up several responses, some of which I investigated. It was not always straightforward to find the entry on the PDF file, but one I did trace was an entry from a solicitor looking for possible beneficaries of an estate. The person named was Helen Elizabeth Darracott Chappell TOGHILL, retired headmistress of "Ty Newydd", Heol Trelau, Ely, Cardiff. She died 26th February 1972, and a check of 1837online showed that she was born on 11th August 1883. A bit late to claim an inheritance, I suppose, but I wonder who she was.

Hi Bob, Pity it is school holidays as I teach at Caerau Lane a little furthur up the road from Heol Trelai....could have asked someone if they knew her....one of thw ex dinner ladies is 76 so might remember but a long road. Wonder if you ask County Hall Cardiff if they have records. There is a book photographs of Ely ...they have them for lots of places...she might feature. I will ask in September!

My thanks to Bob to alerting us to this website. I tried searching for "Hawkesbury Gloucestershire" and found this in the Notices under the Trustees Act 1925. STINCHCOMB, Francis Melville, Cold Change, Hawkesbury Gloucestershire, Retired farmer. 2nd October 1971 For anyone wishing to make a claim on thw estate, its too late.
