I know Ancestry have some but I don't know the dates. Your local probate office will have the calendars and your local record office may also have them. These won't be just the local wills and admons. You could also try the London Gazette which is available online. Connie in London

Hi Charles Ancestry have the Probate Calendars online for England and Wales to 1966 So if you post the name we can check to see if there was a will or administration If he does not appear in the Calendars there was no Probated will Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/08/2012 09:42, Charles Hawker wrote: > Could SKS please advise me how I may find if someone who died February 1953 > left a will. > > Thank you,regards,Charles >

Les, I'm afraid the only photo mentions I found via Google images led to at least one photo of Audrey Turner on tour in Australia in 1947, but I expect you'll have already found this yourself.

Thank you to John Mary Eve and Pete for your help with my query. Last week I wrote to four crematoriums two have replied by email and a lady from Wokingham Crematorium has just telephoned to say that records show that my aunt was cremated there. I am sure the fourth one will reply soon. The staff have been so kind and helpful and there has been no fee. Jenny

I found a site where I could create a family site & have posted a picture that I have of the church in question. As far as I can tell it is known as All Hallows. Any confirmation of this would be appreciated. Thanks, Carol in Victoria, Canada http://eazevedofamily.shutterfly.com/pictures#n_5

I hope someone living in the London area can help me with my question. I have a picture of a church which I think is the one my great-grandparents were married in and I would love to get confirmation of that. The marriage certificate, found through Acestry UK, only says: " Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Tottenham in the county of Middlesex. In the family bible it is referred to as the Tottenham "Old Highway" Church. I'm hoping to get this confirmed as the right church to send copies of the picture along to my uncle and aunts who would be grandchildren of this couple before they pass away. If not hopefully some kind person could guide me to where I could find a copy of the right church. If it is of any help the info of the people involved is AZEVEDO, Edwin Joseph married CONN, Alice Virginia December 25, 1890. I know it is not permissable to send photos to the list, so hopefully someone can email me privately. My private email is [email protected] Thank you, Carol in Victoria, Canada

I have found my ancestor, Mary Ann SPENCER, born in Birmingham in 1825 in census records for 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 while she lived in Middlesex. I believe she may have returned to Birmingham in the subsequent years of her life. I have seen a census record for 1841 when she was living in Great Barr St, Birmingham and was a servant at the Knigs Arms. I cannot find this record again as I did not take down the details except that the head of household was John SMITH, a licensed victualler, and his wife was Mary. Mary A was recorded as being 10 years old. I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me find this record again or guide me in a search using the street address please. Many thanks, Jan
