It has been quite a while since I last checked in to TalkingScot., or anyting for that matter. My son passed away, and although I am still grieving, it is time to get back to the life that goes on. I am still trying to piece together the connection between George Brewer b. 1851 and Martha Hannah Peat b. 1856. George died in 1889 and Martha died in 1890. George's occupation was a joiner. Both of their estates were administrated by Martha's brother Robert Peat, his in 1889 and Martha's in 1890. Both had 30 pounds in their estates. The guardian to their only child and heir was Robert Peat. Stanley was born Greater Manchester, Lancaster, Bolton, U.K., and he died in 1945 in Vancouver B.C., Canada. His wife was Ruth Brewer, born Weaver. So, since my last post I have dug up some history. Oh - George and Martha married in March 1874 Bolton, Greater Manchester Lancashire (first quarter)., and the estates were adminstered or registered, or whatever in Bangor.
Now comes the brick wall!! My mother received a small inheritance from Ella Charlton in early 1970's. My sister found a copy of the will disbursements in my Mum's things after she died. I recall my grandmother Brewer being furious that she was not recognized in the will, and only "blood relatives" were. I have found Ella's birth date being 1898 and she died in 1966. Her husband was John H. Charlton, and he was on the voters list in 1953, and their residence was 11 Clarence Gardens, Llandudno. Named in the will were: Charlotte Davies, Elsie Roberts, Joseph Bonsell Jones, Walter Jones, Trevor Jones, David Edward Jones, and of course the living children of my grandfather Stanley Brewer. D.E. Jones was given expenses to Llandudno at solicitors request to assist in prep. of the family pedigree. The London Gazette had the statutory notice to creditors, but the funeral home records do not go back that far, and although probate court fees were paid - Bangor registry, they have no record. In a different section of the will accounting was Paul Henry Charlton, who recieved some monies, but not as much as the others mentioned. Charlotte Davies received one quarter share, and the others mentioned and the Brewers received one twentieth share.
Try as I may, making the connection from my grandfather Brewer to Ella Charlton has just not happened. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thank you, Lynne
