Thank you Chris, The person I'm interested in died intestate aged 74 in 1939. The Probate Index just says 'Administration to the Treasury Solicitor'. She left nearly £7000 which seems quite a lot. There were no surviving siblings and no nephews or nieces and I'd wondered if details of the death duties might prove interesting. It looks as if I'll just have to go on wondering!

Ah, you should have said that before! Have you tried the records of the Treasury Solicitor at TNA eg TS17, TS30 and TS33?

Chris, Thank you again. I've looked at TNA online catalogue for those refs. and it looks as if they will have what I'm looking for. Brilliant.
