Probate records do not say to whom the effects were left..............

The widow and the other named person would be the people to whom either Probate or Lettters of Administration were granted.

Mark Report 29 Aug 2012 15:33

The Widow on the Probate Reggie is different to the name i have in my research
Thanks

The widow named might not be his widow but an inlaw.

FreeBMD has a Phillips-Law birth 1941q1, but it's in Southampton.
On the other hand, there's no Phillips-Law marr after Ruth's before 1942q1 (in Kent), so maybe Wright has a stepson.

I was merely pointing out a slight inaccuracy in the statement made by the person who posted the probate info

The name was irrelevant
