Introduction

Admons (Administrations), Obituaries (Obits), Probate Records and Wills provide informative clues as to not only relationships, but who was living at a given date and even their address.

Common mistakes are to assume:

• people died in the year of making their Will
  they may have lived on many years after writing their will
• that addressses were their main and only residence
• probate granted to a widow must automatically have been to their wife
  their sister or daughter may have been named as a widow, and if they had married a cousin they would still be surnamed Glanville, as would a widowed daughter-in-law
• the person who wrote their obituary knew them well and had no vested interest in promoting a particular point of view, nor wished to suppress any facts
