Find Ancestors

Hi Margee,

Thanks for telling me about the probate records, I did think that told you whom the money was left too but now I know it is the executor for future reference.

Thanks everyone.

I stand corrected Margee.

You are quite right, I didn't phrase my post correctly. There were 2 people named, Henry Cottle being one of them, and the amount of the effects.

Mary

Just another little correction. The probate records do not say to whom the money was left. The person listed would be the executor of the will.

Susan

The probate record you looked at on Ancestry is for a completely different Minnie Burt to the death posted by both Margee and Lindsey. She died in June 1941 and left money in her will to Henry Cottle.......it doesn't mean she was married to him! Not that that matters.......she is not your Minnie anyway, she lived in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, which is nowhere near Surrey.

They have both given you the details for YOUR Minnie C Burt who's death is registered Sep-Dec 1941 in Surrey.

Mary

Oh well it was just a longshot Susan...hope the other one is the right one...good luck :-)

Hi Cathy,

Thanks for the information on David. It looks as if I was 2 years out. As he was registered in the same district and County as the Minnie C Burt I think she must be my grandmother.

Many thanks for everyones input especially Dea !!

Hi Cathy

David was living in Wallington, Surrey at the time of his death in 1953 and is buried in Purley, Surrey

Yes I looked at that one too Susan but I don't think Henry could be her husband as she is a widow..... when are where did David Burt die please?

Cathy

Dea x,

No you get it from Wills and Probate

Hi Mary,

The spouse was Henry Cottle unless I have the wrong Minnie

Susan,

You do not get the spouse's name from a burial on Ancestry!!

Please correct me if I am wrong??

Hey Dea,

We have got our wires crossed, I was saying about the death entries not the 1911 cencus, that is right.

Susan

Who is the spouse of Minnie C who died in 1941according to Ancestry?

Mary

Aww - come on !!

The surnames are a match - David and Minnie Constance's names are a match - they are in the right place! - How can you say that these are not the correct people ??

Lindsey HAS to have the correct people on 1911!!

Also - the death reg. matches a birth for her for 1884/5!
