Further info added to the first post, and thoughts to the last post.
Could someone kindly look at the family in 1851 and 61?

Ah! Many thanks for that Ann.

So what is the order for inheriting with no will?

Parents
Brothers and sisters/ their offspring
?


The people on the list got 1 fifth each, which was divided amongst their
issue.

I have added further found info to the first post.

Mary is presumably a descendant of this Pennington family. Surely any mothers family would also be entitled?

Could someone kindly find the family in 1851 and 61 to confirm the relationships?

probate ties the Dudson family in!

Pennington Mary of 5 Cubas-Cottages Ulverston Lancashire spinster died 15 July 1954 at Stanley Hospital Ulverston Administration Manchester 26 October to John Thomas Dudson service engineer Effects £741-10s-10d

so it looks like she did not leave an actual will but sometimes the letters of administration do give extra information

Don't know where it was proved, but the solicitors name is in Barrow in Furness, and the account is dated 16th April 1955.

If you see this, Ann, I'd appreciate an enquiry for me, I've already been over there on Tuesday.

not sure if they have copies of the actual wills in Lancaster. In the LRO there are big bound copies beautifully written of all the wills proved at Lancaster and Liverpool for at least up to the 1930's. Not sure about later wills.

I may be going tomorrow as we will have no electricity in our area and therefore no heating or computer!

Thank you, but if it's in Lancaster, I'm up there every other week too.

I would say it would be more than a bit unlikely that Mary was born 1840

As Tempest says - it would probably be worth getting the will

If you know if there was a will proved at Lancaster I could have a look in the LRO whenever I go which is probably quicker than waiting for it by post. I think they have copies upto about 1965

Thanks tempest. Yes, I was considering getting the will, as you say, it should explain who they all are.

possible death??

the only one in Ulverston, Polly can be short for Mary

do you have a copy of the actual will? It might be worth spending the £6 to get it

this link explains how to order it

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.page/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1235425?page=0

I can really recommend doing this; from by Grandmother's bag of papers I had a copy of an account from my 2 x great uncle's probate with names and amounts and only by getting the actual will/ probate did things make sense of who the people named actually were

Thank you for your help, LA. That's filled in a number of spaces for me.

Now finally, do you think that Mary P (with the will) was the one born in 1840?
A bit unlikely given the date of death. Does anyone have any other ideas please?

Many thanks for looking mike, that's cleared up a couple of bits for me.

The only Edna Highley I can see but the area is a lot different
and mother's maiden name is Brown

Births Dec 1916
Highley Edna D - Brown- Wokingham 2c 653



EDIT :
Highley might be her married name though.

Don't know any of that, we've only got this Estate Account, nothing more.

Sounds as though she's willed her estate to her siblings, all of whom have died, and the estate is divided between their descendants. The document does give percentages. The 'itemised' folk get 1 fifth each.

So who is Mary Pennington ?

Is she Mrs Pennington ? if so who did she marry ?

How old was she when she died?
