In 1939 she was married but her husband was away, at Mill Road, Islip, Oundle and Thrapston R.D., Northamptonshir:
First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule Sub Number
Muriel G Waller 20 Jun 1882 F Private Means M 180 1
Freda H Jacques 30 Nov 1921 F Cook S 180 2
The record for this person is officially closed.
1939 Ref: RG101/6146G/015/32
The third person above is unlikely to have been a child as they would have been listed after the parent. So she might be a very young servant in the house who is not yet 100.

A search for births with the Waller surname and mother’s maiden name of Adderley gave a nil result. So she was dsp.

Her probate index:
1975
Waller, the honourable lady Muriel Grace of Compton Durville Manor South Petherton Som died 11 November 1974 Probate London 11 April £10049 750110433H
This is being ordered in the hope that she left her estate among lots of rellies.
________________________
Her will was received on 24th Nov 21.
She had signed it on 18th June 1964 and appointed Hugh Montgomery Churchill and Lettice Mary Firth as her executors and trustees.
(Hugh was the husband of her niece Mary née Adderley. Lettice was her youngest sister, apparently unmarried.
In her will she listed:
1. Her niece Mary MacDermot
2. Her niece Patience Waller
3. Her niece Rosemary Dreke
4. Her niece Patricia O’Farrell
5. Her niece Eanswythe Hunder
6. The Honourable Lady Joan Hunter
7. Julia Harwood
8. Her goddaughter Caroline de St Paer Gotch
9. Richard Hunter
10. Miss Edith Margery Mansbridge
11. Mrs Mabel Smith
12. Her residuary legatee and of her marriage settlement to be her sister Lettice Mary Firth
13. Her niece Eanswythe Hunter, in default of Lettice.
I need to do some work on Lettice, who I have not previously covered but should have as she is a Powys descendant.
