The Lighter Side / Re: Drawing board moments.

When my great grandmother died in 1921 she bequeathed sixty pounds to each of her five named children.  My grandmother at the time was a widow in her late twenties with health issues and a four year old daughter to bring up.  She was not left anything or mentioned in the will.  Just because they are not mentioned doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Thanks Nova.  It is believed that he had been living with someone, don’t know if he married her, and was hoping the death certificate might help.  I could not find a death notice, only funeral, to see if it gave any further information.  I will keep looking.  He had been estranged from his children for many years.

Viktoria how can you have missed seeing Firey Freddie Trueman?  I’m much younger than you and saw him play in Australia.  He was good and had a rather dry sense of humour.

Thanks Nova.  I will save up my cents and apply for my great grandfather’s death certificate soon.  It will be interesting to see what is on it as he was estranged from the family when he died.

Nova a cousin finished up ringing them to ask why it was so expensive and the need for all the information.  The reply was along the lines of, we are not a big state like others so we can’t afford to digitise everything like them.  He didn’t get a real answer on the security though.

We tried to get my great grandfather’s death certificate, died 1942, and in the end gave up as the cost and requirements seemed outlandish.  We had a photo of his grave so knew the date of death.  Some certificates are on Family Search, but I think they were only births.

I’m in the 18th year with a pacemaker gillg.  Basically it made it so that I could keep going.  I would become so breathless that I would need to stop repeatedly when going anywhere.  It does depend on why you need it as to the difference it will make to you.
