Thanks DetEcTive, that's a useful link.

Rose, yes I read that. She had everything money could buy but was clearly a very unhappy lady. Husband was always coming to London but I only found her on a couple of passenger lists.

Thanks again folks.

You could try the 'ask a librarian' service at the US Library of Congress about the Will

They may be able to point you in the right direction.

Hehe.

As Ada worked in an accounts dept, perhaps she used one of Daddy's calculating machines :-)

Aaah - so he'd be Philip the inventor who appears rather a lot on the passenger lists!

Thanks Maureen

Makes you wonder if his father was having a little "dalliance" with Ada or something and she willed the rings back to the son on her death.

Makes for fun speculation!

PHILIP KLEEBERG.
New York Times (1923-Current file); Feb 7, 1936;
ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2007)
pg. 20

Philip Kleeberg,a former resident of this city who has made his home in London for many years,died yesterday in St Petersburg,Florida. With him was his only surviving relative,his son,Gordon S.P. Kleeberg,lawyer,of 44 West Eighty-Eighth Street.

Mr Kleeberg,who invented a calculating machine widely used in England had crossed the Atlantic more than 150 times.

That was the university of Columbia, New York, so fits in with age 22.
Thanks.

Nowadays, class of 2010 could refer to a high school class of kids completing at age 18, or a university class graduating at age 22.

BINGO! Thank you Rose.
That confirms the link to Ada. Just wonder how well they knew each other and what the story is behind the rings.

300 Madison Ave was the business address for Kleeberg and Greenwald.

His partner, Jacob Greenwald, was listed as his contact of WW2.

Is there an index of wills in the US similar to the probate registers in the UK?

Janice Report 3 Jan 2011 22:56

Wonder what happened to the rings then!

Doesn't look like he was married on his WW2 registration card either.

His company is Kleeberg and Greenwald, still around now.

Janice Report 3 Jan 2011 22:50

That would suggest he isn't married then, at least not by 1914.

Is there any way of finding out if he had a family or left a will?
