He then had it shifted to Grovedale. | John died on 5 July 1898 and left his estate to his wife. An application for probate was not applied for until after Susanna died on 19 October in 1918 as she told her son that she had the will and the title deeds of the property and she was entitled to live there until she died. She told him to take the papers to the solicitor after she died. He did this and found out that he should have done this sooner. The property was sold to Heinrich Reinhold Winter on 19 April 1923 for £750 with interest of £16/7/10 totalled £766/7/10. The seven children received £97/9/6 each. |
