    1. [Lanark] How to find details regarding probate/ will for 1946
    2. Ailsa Corlett
    3. Hi, I know that my Great Grandmother must have left a will when she died in 1946, as my Mother along with her brother and sister and Father were summoned to a Solicitors office in Dunedin New Zealand and told that money had been left to them. But the money had to be spent on clothes for the children and they were to return to the solicitors office with a photograph showing the new clothes. I actually have that photo (unfortunately no actual date on it). As the Wills on Scotlandspeople site does not go this far, any idea if there is a index regarding wills going past the dates on scotlandspeople, and also where is the most likely place for a copy of this will/ probate to be housed if it still exists. I am not certain if probate would have taken place, as the valuation rolls (1920) shows that she was the tenant of the house and shop. She was the postmistress at Provident Place Thorniewood. I have photos of the shop as my Mother went to stay when she was only 3yrs old and then returned to NZ when she was 6yrs. Also would I need to employ a professional genealogist to search for it. Any ideas and tips would be helpful. BTW thanks Jim for running the list and thank you Billy for taking it over. I have found lots of great information on this list. regards Ailsa Ailsa Corlett [email protected] www.st.net.au/~ailsa alternative email if having trouble sending to my normal email is: [email protected]
