Brew Family

[Robert2022]

I'm trying to find information on a great-grandaunt of mine and her family.

Her name was Margaret Brew (nee Farrell) she was born on 17 SEP 1901 in Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland. She died sometime in Dublin in JAN 1946.

She married a mam named Theobald Taaffe Brew on 25 Aug 1937 in Canices, Finglas, Dublin, Ireland. He was born on 26 DEC 1895 in Cappagh, Kilrush, Co. Clare, Ireland. He was from the Church of Ireland. Was told he died in 1967 in Liverpool (but the family member can't be sure of that)

I was told they had a daughter called Stella Brew don't no much about her my dad's cousin said her dad told her that he thought Stella was killed/murdered in Liverpool. Don't no if that's true or not.

I am wonder if someone can help find info on all 3 of them hopefully someone might.

Copied from other post

There is a probate entry for a Theobold (aka Thomas) Brew of Liverpool who died 27 November 1967 on the government probate index

No marriage or death for a Stella Brew in England.  If she married in Ireland then came to England - you would need to find her married name to find a death

Stella must have been born between 1937-1946 so any marriage would be in the late 1950’s onwards. 

If her father died 1967 - a copy of his will may name her as a beneficiary if she was still alive at that time.  It will also (hopefully) show if she was married & her married name but that’s dependant on when the will was made

Have asked for posts to be merged as duplicate posts result in a lot of wasted effort

The probate does not name Stella so I'm guessing she was died by then

Do you mean the probate index or do you mean the actual probate paperwork?

I've look at the England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1995.

I can't seem to get the image up

All that tells you is who was granted probate. Relatives and friends might be mentioned in the Will but person granted probate could be a solicitor, business partner, trusted friend, professional person (bank manager, teacher, etc).

You will have to purchase the will to get the details, the price for this has recently gone up to £16.  There is also a delay in issuing them as many people rushed to purchase them at the old price of £1.50 and are still waiting to receive their orders

He died 27.11.1967 & was living at 153 Scarisbrick Rd which is Liverpool 11.  My late aunt lived at number 116

He left £1006.
