Find Ancestors

Is it possible for someone to look up probate for my great grandmother, Harriet Moss Allen (nee Ruler) please. She was born 1855c and she married John Allen 25 Dec 1876. She was on 1911 census age 50, born 1861 Bermondsey, widow, married 31 years. I don't know when she died. Thank you
Sandra

Assuming she died in England/Wales, and had a will that went to probate, you can look for yourself.

You'll have to work through year by year, but the names are alphabetical, so it shouldn't take too long.

Thanks very much Shirley for all that info. A cousin said that she married again and some American cousins used to bring her gold sovereigns.

When did John die?, did he leave a Will?...

(I know there are other Moss Ruler 'Threads' relating, not sure what you have on John)

Chris :)

I have on my tree that John Allen died 18 October 1903, and my cousin said he died 1903.
How do I find other Moss Ruler threads please.
