That's nice of you Derek, I only wish we could get a breakthrough and find a descendant.  It's frustrating as well as fun!

Annie, do we have enough clues from Nora May Dobell that we don't need to follow up the other angle.  We need to keep in mind - trying to be as specific as possible without naming names, I believe the first witness on Elizabeth's will was named in a Historic Electoral Roll at the same address as was used when she was witness.  This is the person who, if still living, may only be found by personal visit.

If it's down to me I wouldn't be able to go until sometime on Sunday anyway, so a consensus of opinion before then would be good.

Mary

Hi Mary !

I hate to put the onus on you to do the follow along as you've done so much already !! and especially in this bad weather ..........
so if .... and that's a big IF ..... the weather is OK - and you feel OK ....... then I think a visit would be good - and maybe even for her too !!  :) and I just KNOW she'd enjoy you too !!  ;D ;D ;D

Annie  :)

*Sigh* she says, as she once again packs her napkin and slings it on a stick over her shoulder and treks off once again into the wild blue yonder in search of the fairy godmother .....

All being well she's still alive, she would be at least 80!!!

Half of Liverpool by now think I'm pretty much of a looney, every time I'm picking up the phone these days I tend to start "Hello, although it may sound like it, this is NOT a crank call, but it's a bit of a long story, do you have a day or two to listen ....."
