Need help please to find info on possibly Reginald Whitehead. A Great Uncle, recently deceased ( do not know date) May have lived in London West End at some time. Sister Beatrice Winifred. Have got letter from Heir Hunters acting on behalf of solicitor. They will only give info after I sign an agreement with them for 15% of estate. Not a huge problem but would love to find out a bit more before I sign anything!

To really prove this you need the 1911 showing Beatrice W and Reg together in the same family - looks good, but needs belt & braces ;)

;D ;D A Joy to behold!
Are you certain this is the correct Reginald ie is 1985 recent?

1911 checks out, altho she was called Winnifred 8)
-
so how do these HH outfits look for heirs?
Presumably they worked back via possible marriage etc to find he had a sibling Beatrice Winifred?
Marriages Dec 1927
Hunter Ivy M Whitehead Kingston 2a 1169
Lamb William J Peart Kingston 2a 1169
Peart Annie S Lamb Kingston 2a 1169
Whitehead Reginald F Hunter Kingston 2a 1169
Can only see one birth to Whitehead / Hunter in Kingston, 1928

Yes, Beatrice would have got estate but died in 1987. Therefore bloodline goes to my fathers generation (Beatrice was his mum). One family member left on that line (my Aunt). Lives in Canada. I come into equation as line goes down to my generation ( nieces & nephews).
How do I get to info you found on NA? must be looking in wrong place.

NA ?
I used a combination of FreeBMD & Ancestry.co.uk

So Reg's wife and only son had died ..... :(
Hang on, she outlived Reg! If this is correct .... went back to Kingston

Definite is Beatrice Winifred died 1987. She will have had2 brothers that I know of - Charlie & Reg.
Apparently the deceased Whitehead I am connected to had no children according to HH's. Maybe they meant child had died. Also no siblings - presumably still alive.
The area is correct. My gran (Beatrice) lived in Esher Thames Ditton and my great gran Whitehead lived in Long Ditton.
Assuming deceased died recently. Not sure how far back their estates can be sorted?
