	I was hoping William might have been granted probate but it went to two daughters. Others may be benefactors but you would need a copy of the Will England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 Name:John Bernard Jackson Probate Date:3 Dec 1952 Death Date:27 Oct 1952 Death Place:Leeds, England Registry:Wakefield Probate to: Lily Cade (wife of Arthur) & Laura Arnold (wife of Edward) £77 19s 9d
