This would appear to be probate for Arthur, gives widow as Gertrude B though, I wonder if he mentions his children in the will? |

Legal adoption didn't come in until the 1920's, so any arrangements would have been informal, and unrecorded |

Seems strange to adopt out two children when there were two younger children than them...would have thought they would all be adopted out or all kept. And looking after them (himself) would not be an issue since his mother-in-law seems to have lived with him anyway (as did his sister-in-law) |
