No I haven’t been able to find one. Is there a Probate Registry in Australia?  It’s where we would check here.

Yes, they're usually here, but searching for Maydwell has no matches.

Oops, sorry, she died in NSW!

Christiana Maydwell's father, John WHITFIELD did leave a will in NSW. Made in 1892. In Young NSW
He bequeathed her an annuity of 20 pounds.
Her name then was I'ANSON.

This thread is lengthy and I admit to not being 100% familiar with all its twists so maybe I am repeating information here.

Yes John Whitfield left an interesting will. He died in 1892 in the UK. As far as I know he never left there. He left Christiana 12 cottages and a yearly annuity of £20. I think Young, NSW is where Christiana died in 1950. I’m not sure what happened to the cottages ie were they sold or did she just continue receiving the rents once they became hers in 1906 when her mother remarried. They were all very close to her father’s farm, which was split between her two brothers in the will. Her three sisters certainly didn’t do as well as Christiana did from it either.

This is possibly the Coach-builder from Richmond, John WILSON.
If so, the Sands Directory listing shows just a work or business address as he does not appear on the Electoral Roll at Church street as given by PatLac.

It may, of course be not the same man.

WILSON, Jno

1925
63 Brighton Street Richmond. WILSON, John. Coachsmith

Where John can be seen remaining to 1942 and Amy to 1963

Amy Constance WILSON died aged 82 in 1963 at Fitzroy F. Jas  FORTUNE. M. Elizabeth JOHNSTON. #19925.


Working with information from Amy’s headstone, this is likely the death of her husband John
