This looks like him, Sally, taken from the National Probate Calendar:

1927 WRIGHTSON Francis of 14 Rochester-terrace Headingley Leeds died 26 June 1927. Probate London 20 July to Hermann Josephy merchant. Effects £1690 0s 2d.

(I just love that they bothered with the tuppence!)

That would pay for the stamp duty!

Hehe, I expect that the twopence was very important given that Hermann (Hermie, my grandfather) was Jewish!.

Thank you Kate, that has filled in a gap
