Thank you Vera. Very kind of you

So it looks like Thomas and Alice have split up do you think?

My pleasure.

Regards Vera

Difficult question to answer, I suppose they could have split up or maybe she runs the hotel and comes back home at different times. I don't suppose we will ever know.

Thank you Vera.
Can you work out how much John Francis Shepherd left because that is an odd figure

Sorry....should read

£13784 18s 4d that was a fortune then.


Regards Vera

That surely was a lot of money back then

I was just wondering about Alice's Will in 1930 where she left just over £268, yet she had owned what must have been a 'massive' Hotel as shown on 1911 Census.

This would only equate to around £12000 today ??

A couple of years later, John Francis left 'today's equivalent' of around £673,000.........

Mmmmmm, strange ??

I wonder if it worked it's way over somehow, or did 'her' money just disappear ???
