Wills

[Rosie Knees]

would I be able to get a will on A2A for a death in 1907?

I think some county record offices have them listed post 1858 and others don't, Rosie; best thing would just be to search on A2A and see if it's listed or not. Also some counties have separate will indexes that aren't on A2A, such as Lancashire.

[Rosie Knees]

thanks Kate, I did do a search on a2a and nothing came up.

I have never had a hit on anything I have ever searched for on there lol.

[kiterunner]

Who are you looking for, and in what county?

[Rosie Knees]

Frederick Henry Foster dod 12/06/1907 in Twyford, Lincs

EDIT to say I didn't put the Henry in the search.

[kiterunner]

Hmm, GENUKI says "The Lincolnshire Archives publish a CD-ROM, "Indexes of Wills 1700 - 1900". No help in this case, though!

[Rosie Knees]

none at all Kate lol.

[kiterunner]

I could look him up on the National Probate Calendar if you like? I'm planning to go and look a few things up in the next week anyway.

[Rosie Knees]

thank you Kate, that would be wonderful. If there is a will, and he had his own business, I'll be able to get it from York won't I?

:D

[kiterunner]

Yes, that's right.

[Rosie Knees]

cheers me dears!

Here's the entry, Rose:

1907 FOSTER Frederick Henry of Twyford Colsterworth Lincolnshire died 12 June 1907. Probate London 28 August to John William Foster plumber and Lois Bonner (wife of Newell Bonner). Effects £619 11s 4d.

[Rosie Knees]

Thanks Kate. I'll get on to York. John William was Fred's son.

Wonder who the Bonners were, will have a look on the census for them.

Thanks again :D:D

[Rosie Knees]

a ha! Lois was Fred's daughter (duh!). I hadn't managed to find a marriage for her yet, but now I have. Now I will be able to see if I can bring that family forward with any children!

Things have moved on a little step already! :-D
