Help needed with Great Aunt Norah

[carol8353]

Sorry KGarrad I read the marriage as being in a register office 
Thank you Carol

Benjamin Haigh Townsend of 52 Henry Nelson St,South Shields died on 5th Jan 1956 ,administration Newcastle upon Tyne 7 Feb to Norah Winifred Thompson widow

Effects £690 19s 7d

does this mean Norah remarried someone named Thompson?

I had to look at that twice to make sure I hadn't read it wrong- and it DOES say Thompson,but I can't find her marrying someone or dying with either name actually,unless it's after 2006.

So maybe someone messed up there and typed the wrong name.

Thanks Carol, perhaps it is a typing error.
If they had children (I'm thinking 2 daughters) would they have been  mentioned in Benjamin's will?

All I have given you is the probate index,it tells you who probate was granted to,seemingly his wife(widow) You would have to obtain the will itself from York for £6 to see who he left his money to.

Although as he was only 65 and his wife still living he may just have left everything to her and would have no need to mention his daughters.

At least it is a further tool to confirm that Benjamin H Townsend aged 65 who died  March qtr 1956 in South Shields district    vol 1a, page 1021 that KGarrad found for you last night is indeed the right chap as it confirms his middle name and that his wife was Norah Winifred.
