The Common Room / Help with Bona Vacantia
« on: Monday 07 October 19 14:29 BST (UK)  »
Hello

A relative had a gg aunt who died intestate in 1990 and her name appears on the Bona Vacantia list. Under the 30 year rule there is only 1 year to make a claim with possibly 12 beneficiaries involved.

Does anyone know

1.   How to obtain the value of the estate
2.   How difficult it is to make a claim
3.   Had any experience of dealing with this themselves rather than though any ‘Heir Hunters’ type companies

Thank you for any insight, help or comments

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Frederick TONKS marriage 1903
« on: Thursday 06 August 15 10:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Can anyone help with a look up please?

I have Frederick TONKS born Sheffield 1883, father William, mother Sarah CARTWRIGHT

1901 Census Frederick is aged 18, with East Yorkshire Regiment in Victoria Barracks, Beverley

Free BMD gives a possible marriage q to Mar 1903, Beverley 9d/103
To Hannah REVIS or Jeanie McSHANE

I have all previous Census data but can’t find Frederick or his wife on the 1911 Census.

The medal card for Frederick shows him as private 6640, but no trace of his service or pension records. His regiment could have been in India in 1911. Found a possible death in Leeds 1946 aged 63.

Does anyone have access to the Beverley parish registers & would be willing do a look up of the 1903 marriage for me. Not wanting to buy the certificate as may not be the right man. 
Unsure how many churches would be in the area for that time frame - St. Martin, St. Nicholas, St. Mary & Minster Church of St John ?

Apologies in advance if it’s too much to ask

Thank you

Thanks rosie99

He says his father is William on 2nd marriage certificate and always says Shropshire as birth county so I think this is probably not the right one

Just wish he'd been a bit more specific as to where in Shrophire  ::)
