Hi Bethan,

The only one I can see is for a widow of that name for 20 July 1932 (she died 30th June), address 3 Cedar Rd, Neath to Laura Maud Evans, wife of Llwelyn Evans. Effects £108.

Hope that helps.

Hi Beth

sorry no luck may be someone with more experience might have better luck

I check every Hannah , annie , anna  Lewis I could find

nothing I'm afraid

expect for the one I posted previously

Also the Jan-Feb-Mar 1934  is the year and months  the death was registered unless you have death cert to confirm ? it could be that she did die in 1933 ( I don't mean that the one above is correct as you said you don't no who Benjamin Lawrence Hugh-Jones is) just that it may be worth looking at both years

let me know find any more info and I will try and help

good luck

Jackie

 Are you certain she left a will,  not everyone did.

Have you thought about getting the death certificate , there would usually  be an adress and an informants name.

Momo 22 you are a STAR !!!!!!

How does one go about finding the actual contents of Probate or is that not available.

Some wills are kept for free open viewing. E.g Birmingham are held at the Central Library in the archives section, so you might be best contacting the records office for Manchester to see if they have them.

You can order wills but that costs money.

Thank you for that.

 Ordered his Death Certificate earlier, wasn't sure if his will would be in Manchester. Will try tomorrow

Thank you again, a bit of a mystery this. He is supposed to have got a girl pregnant, went to South Africa looking for his Father, who after having 8 children decided he had had enough of married life. Father came back for a few visits but died in S. Africa in 1946.
Family History gave one child name of Florence which fits. Surprised to find that the children's names are Corcoran as that is the maiden name of his wife Mary Jane. Florence & Lilly were brought up by her parents. Lilly could not be Mary Jane's child but Florence could. They married in 1898 in Chorlton. Another surprise is that I think they had a child Mary born 1900, who was not mentioned at Probate. Will see if I can apply on line for the document. Might reveal something else !!!

 Best wishes, Elaine
