Notes for Richard Wilfred Beauvoir Berens
His birth index:

Name:                                Mother's Maiden Surname:
BERENS, RICHARD WILFRID BEAUVOIR     MELLARD  
GRO Reference: 1933  M Quarter in BROMLEY  Volume 02A  Page 955
______________________

He appears to have been married three times:

Year  Soiyuse           District     Vol  Page
1958  Nicole Y Buller   Westminster   5C  525
1965  Virginia R Birch  Westminster   5C  851
      or Cassia-Birch
1971  Barbara Ross      Chelsea       5A  1417
      or Neil

He is namewd as ‘Richard W B Berens’ in all these and no further details can be found without spending Big Bucks.

The critical thing is whether any of these marriages were both his AND produced children.

The children found are:

)a) with Nicole Buller::                  NIL
(b) With Virginia Birch or Cassis-Birch:  NIL
(c) With Barbara Ross or Neil             NIL

It sounds to me that he had a problem!

BERENS   RICHARD WILFRED BEAVIOR  16 Sep 1999  235368   08 Jul 1998  Grant and will  Winchester

(I would prefer the spelling of his second forename that was in his birth record ‘Beauvoir’)

This will has been ordered in the hope of finding better information about his marriages and any children.
____________________

In his will dated 9th December 1996 he appointed as his executors:
1. Geraldine Marie Helen Southwell Fitzgerald of the same address as he,
2. His sister-in-law Phoebe Berens
3. Siobhan Anne Southwell Timpson

At probate his estate was ££273148 net and executor powere were given to the first two only, though ppower was reserved for the last.

The will then set up a discretionary trust for the first executor and for ‘any issue’, but no issue were named.
