Title: Lookup Please. State Records of NSW. - Mary Jane McKUNE d.1934
Post by: Beth42 on Tuesday 17 February 15 06:31 GMT (UK)

I have looked for the above entry on FindMyPast "NSW Will Books 1800-1952" without success, however there are several references to her will at State Records online -

Deceased Estates
records.nsw.gov.au     Archive Investigator
Series 4-199188         Item         Mary Jane McKune - Date of Death 03/05/1934, Granted on
09/10/1934

Deceased Estates
MCKUNE        Mary Jane        Woolwich        03/05/1934        11/02/1935        Pre A 086459 [20/1912]        -        Occupation: widow

There is a notice in the SMH about Probate and I have her Death Certificate. I have downloaded the will of her husband William McKune

If someone has the time when at State Records I would love a copy of her will - from the Will Book would be fine - I think there may be a glitch with FindMyPast as another probate granted about the same time is indexed twice.

I hope I am not infringing any copyright with this request. With thanks from Beth
