Received reply from the man on here, his Enid is still alive, trust me to put my foot in it! Very kind of you all to look at the records.

Enid ALICE Hill?

1914-2008

I just hope Enids wishes are met and the bulk of her money goes to Animal charities.

I wonder who gets the rest?...The Council?

This is the closest I could get:

Marriages Dec 1910
Blackman William E Wandsworth 1d 1121
***Hill Walter B A Wandsworth 1d 1121
Kennard Amy E Wandsworth 1d 1121
***Palmer Alice E Wandsworth 1d 1121

There are some Blackman MMN Kennard births so I'm assuming Walter married Alice.

Mr Moffatt said Miss Hill was single with no known family.

There was no information about where she was born or what her job/profession had been

How sad the council aren't interested in finding her family, or a will.
Theres one potential match on this site, I've messaged him.
