William Paul, Scotland to New Zealand

[Lucy2]

This too for Robert PAUL   ...

"Grey River Argus" - 5 September 1887 - District Court

... In the matter of Robert PAUL, deceased ... it mentions that a George Henry RUSSELL was the executor named in the Will.

[George Henry RUSSELL doesn't appear to have been related in any way to Robert PAUL.  There's an obituary for GH RUSSELL, and it seems he also had a connection with goldmining - so was probably just a friend of Robert ? ]

My goodness Lu - you HAVE been a busy bee!

I'm sure when James comes along and sees all the additional info he'll be delighted once again.

I just though I'd pop in to see how things were going, so thanks from me for all your help.

Now for the above probate look-up, you'll need to make a separate request on this board (otherwise it won't be seen, set as it is amongst other things in this thread).
So that means starting a new topic.      [Would suggest you head the topic "Christchurch Archives Look-up". ]
