Subject: Dates involved in Probate records - can anyone help?
Author: Darrell Jones

I have a g.g. aunt who died in 1849 however the probate date (presumably of her will) was 1876. Her effects were less than £100 which went to her widowed mother my g.g.g.grandmother. She was a cotton spinner and died of tuberculosis and I can't think of a scenario whereby it would take 27 years to action a will involving no property and effects worth less than £100. Does anyone have any suggestions or perhaps a research source that may be of use please.
