Default What an inefficient lot!

Still chasing link from ex's family to the Gasons.

Walter Fletcher Gason's daughter Maria Caroline died 1813. He was the executor, but died 1816 without having sorted out her effects. Probate was granted again to Walter's daughter Lucy Sophia Gason.

Lucy Sophia had to administer her father's estate in 1861 although he had died in 1816, as her mother Mary and the other executor Thomas Price had not sorted things out.

Lucy's mother Mary Gason died 1848 and Lucy didn't sort out her effects, so probate was granted to one of Lucy's executors in 1884.

A lot of legal faffing around, especially as by 1884, Mary Gason's effects were the relatively small sum of £13. 15s.

And the irony is that Walter Fletcher Gason was an attorney, as was Mary Gason's uncle Samuel Denison!

How many builders finish all the outstanding little jobs about the home?

Exactly! As the saying goes, the cobbler's children have no shoes....
