Will notes for Edward Freeman Keight
His probate index:

1963
KEIGHT Edward Freeman of Sheldon Cottage Grove Lane Bayston Hill Condover Shropshire died 27 September 1963 at The Monkmoor Hospital Shrewsbury  Administration Birmingham 1 November to Mary Anne Hazlehurst widow.  Effects £156 18s.

Mary Anne sounds like his sister, which gives a clue on what she did.

He was still living in the house his father had died in in 1929 and in the village his father had been born in 1844.

I have ordered this will to find where she was living in case it ties up with her death.
_______________________

The Administration said he died intestate and a bachelor without parent.

It went on to say that the estate devolved to and vests in the personal representative of the said intestate and this was granted in Birmingham to Mary Anne Hazlehurst of 30 Filleybrooks Stone Staffordshire widow and the lawful sister of the whole blood and only person entitled to the estate of the said intestate.

And this confirms the relationship I had suspected.
