ya that is bizzare, hopefully someone from the family can tell me more about him, all i have from them at the moment is that there is a dusty old suitcase in someones attic with Wilfred scrawled on it that they thought may have been his....

I have started another thread in the Lancashire messageboard.  Thank you everyone who helped get it to this stage.  Will go adjust the title of this one as I am now looking for the musical info.....

[Janette]

You could put a new thread on the board asking for an Christchurch Archives lookup for Wilfred Holland's probate and will

Cheers Janette
