Indeed you do, Sue!!!

Thank you all so much! Because she really hadn't a bean, she wasn't in the death duty registers.

That is great. I'd been doing a "narrow by month" search and for some reason hadn't spotted her in September.

No, I tell a lie. I've just realised it took the family four years to make money out of her:D
