Evening everyone, I have googled Admons , I recieved one today and can understand briefly what they are, on the one I recieved has additional writting added in 1935, my ancestor died in 1918 and wondered if any G.R. meber could throw any light on this for me. |

Could the deceased's estate have been very complicated and taken years to sort out? |

Hi Kathleen, I also thought that, My Gt Uncle Sam married twice, but his children was from his first marriage, on this admon. it says "Further grant D.R.Wakefield 25th Sept. 1935. This could mean "District Registra" but I find that Sams second wife remarried someone called "Harold Wakefield"and wondered if D.R. could be one of Harold Wakefields sons to his first wife. I don't know where to go from here. |

Admons are Letters of Administration Julia. |

Letters of Administration is simply a document authorising a person or persons to act on behalf of the deceased persons estate. |

Never heard of this, so thanks Tox for bringing the subject up! Don't want to hijack your thread, but is this worth pursuing in my case? I have an ancestor who had his own business so expected a will, but can't find any reference to one. If so, which website should I go to? |

Hi, Brummiejan, this is the first time I have heard of "admons" to. I was sent this one when I sent for the Will of my Ancestor, I didn't know where to go on the internet so I ask on G.R. I have asked the question of where to go next from Inspectorgreenpen, hope he/she will come up with the next step for me to take, fingers crossed. :) |

Admon can be looked for in the same way as looking for a will in the probate indices. The index details will state whether it is a will or an admon. Between 1858 & about 1870 (not sure of this date) Admons did have a separate index but I have usually found them on fiches filed close to the will index. In Lancs the fiche is usually headed (eg) Wills for 1861 and admons 1860. After about 1870 the fiche is headed Wills & Admons for (eg) 1880. |

I usually just try the name (both thomas Bore & Bore Thomas) in quotes plus probate or address of place of death - anything I can think of really that might just find something |
