Thank you As they were already both widowed when they married, that could well be their thinking actually.

Probate is granted to the person nominated as Executor. The Executor distributes the Estate in accordance with the terms of the Will. The fact that one of the sons was the Executor does not necessarily mean that he inherited in preference to the Widow Being an Executor is a major responsibility - it may not have been one that a grieving widow would have been able to undertake. Even as late as 1938 there may have been a preference for male Executors over females, males being seen as more responsible and better able to deal with the financial responsibilities appertaining to the estate If Alfred was unmarried his father may have felt he had more time to devote to the administration of his estate then his siblings Ros ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 20:25:53 +0000 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [G] Probate to son not wife? > From: [email protected] > > Hi > I have a Frederick Pullum, born 1876 in Shoreditch, son of William Banner PULLUM and Caroline GLOVER. > Baptised 20th October 1878 at St John, Hoxton. > 25th December 1897 he married Ada Kate Harriet FIELD at St John the Baptist, Hoxton. > They had 11 children (including Alfred born 1906) > His wife Ada Kate Harriett died in 1923 aged 46 > 9th November 1929 Frederick married Mary Ann GEERS at St Paul’s Church, Haggerston. > Mary Ann GEERS was born Mary Ann GLOVER (they were in fact first cousins) > > However when Frederick dies in 1938, his probate is to son Alfred, even though his second wife is still alive (found with her widowed brother on the 1939 register). > Alfred is not the eldest child but his elder siblings (one brother and 3 sisters) are married and he is not.

Thank you I always have trouble understanding probate for some reason - seem to have a mental block. I felt that as a year later, the children were living in Fredrick's house and not his wife, then she seemed to have been left out. Although of course just because she is elsewhere on the 1939 register, it doesn't mean that was her permanent residence.

Oops - sorry John, Perhaps it should be Ilett VANTSTONE who married Charles John LAWES in Q4 1887 St Geo H Sq. In 1911 they were in Red Lodge, Winslade, Clyst St Mary, Exeter.

John, Surely it is the John C LAWS who died in Exeter in Q4 1936. The other entry, according to FreeBMD is ILETT LAWS, died Q3 1933 St Thomas RD, Devon. I suspect ILETT is actually Eliza Jane FARRELL who married John LAWS in Q4 1885 in Northampton. John & Eliza Jane LAWS are still in Northampton in 1911, with their 2 surviving daughters (a 3rd child had died) Simples!

Garry For UK research, there is little advantage in having MyHeritage as well as the others, although I do - mainly for the European records. The Smart Matches are certainly useful, and of particular benefit if you are using Family Historian 6 for your research.

1. Find out what you are looking at. The entry for this on FMP shows it comes from BT 114/11. Putting this into Discovery (advanced search best, as it has a place to search for references) 2. Look at the 'context of this record'. The entries here often have useful info. That for BT 114 explains it is an index to BT 113, seamen's tickets. Click on the link BT 113 and that shows that gives you a page explaining what is BT 113 is also on FMP. 3. Click on 'partner website' link back to FMP. This page is not as useful as it should be. The index works by giving you the no. to look up, but FMP don't allow for that to be entered! 4. However, entering the name William Howe and series BT113 gives just 16 results. Not too many if you had to work thro' them all, but as the index entry said 'Lambeth' I tried the Surrey one first, and that matches on ticket no. (Afraid the image isn't too clear, though) I set out how I would go about finding more in case it helps with other records, but this link should probably take you straight to the register entry on FMP: http://tinyurl.com/j436x7m Hope that helps, Teresa On 06/04/2016 21:14, Sue Church via wrote: > Hi All > > > I'm send this on behalf of one of my area members who is having trouble sending this message, although she is receiving from the list??? can anyone help with this also > > > ************************************************************************************************************* > Subject: William Howe - seaman > > Advice request please > > >From FMP seaman list under Education I can find > > 1854 387121 HOWE - William Lambeth > > Where can I find more about him?
