Hi
I'm trying to find out about Edward Trout died 1934 St Thomas, Devon -leaving a wife called Jane Marchant Trout who died in 1940.

I believe there is a probate info on find my past - as when I type in either name it comes up with an item in 1935 - but I can't open it !! It opens and just shows the loading symbol - very frustrating!

could someone else try for me? or if anyone else can find it elsewhere Id be really grateful .

Wow thatnks so much -that's what I need to clarify majorfield road was his address!!!!

which means the table I have in my front room was the one given to my granddad in 1930's, by Edward! as he was a very old man and wanted it to stay in the family.
'edward' lived in majorfield -but I had two Edward trouts so wasn't sure if it was him or not!! thanks so much -this had made my day, week and month.

yes Edward died just before their 70th anniversary apparently

its odd though one newspaper report says how they celebrated it - and another says how he died before they did - and it was going to be in December!
odd!!
