I wonder if anybody could help me too with a National Probate Calendar search.

Edward Paul Nangle died Oct Quarter 1931 Manchester South aged 54 ref 8d 222. I do not know if the

Will & Admin were in Manchester.

Thanks in anticipation

Momo 22 you are a STAR !!!!!!

How does one go about finding the actual contents of Probate or is that not available.

Some wills are kept for free open viewing. E.g Birmingham are held at the Central Library in the archives section, so you might be best contacting the records office for Manchester to see if they have them.

You can order wills but that costs money.

Thank you for that.

 Ordered his Death Certificate earlier, wasn't sure if his will would be in Manchester. Will try tomorrow

 Going for T now, 1 hour ahead of you here in lovely sunny Spain.

Thank you again, a bit of a mystery this. He is supposed to have got a girl pregnant, went to South Africa looking for his Father, who after having 8 children decided he had had enough of married life. Father came back for a few visits but died in S. Africa in 1946.
Family History gave one child name of Florence which fits. Surprised to find that the children's names are Corcoran as that is the maiden name of his wife Mary Jane. Florence & Lilly were brought up by her parents. Lilly could not be Mary Jane's child but Florence could. They married in 1898 in Chorlton. Another surprise is that I think they had a child Mary born 1900, who was not mentioned at Probate. Will see if I can apply on line for the document. Might reveal something else !!!

 Best wishes, Elaine
