From a notice in the London Gazette, her executors included David Arthur Grant Thesiger, John Still Thesiger; they were nephews of hers.)
This has been ordered in the hope that she lists a few relatives.
_____________________
Indeed her will does list a few relatives and some of these I have yet to find, so thanks to her for giving all this information.
Her will was signed on 29 May 1998 and appointer the following nephews as her executors: David Arthur Grant Thesiger, John Still Thesiger together with Christopher Sandford Hall who does not appear to be a relative at all.
She also listed:
1. Her nephew David Thesiger, executor
2. Her nephew John Thesiger, executor
3. Her niece Anne Towner
4. Her niece Frances Thesiger
5. David’s daughter Amanda
6. David’s daughter Clare
7. Frances Smith (who she?)
8. Her unspecified great nephews and great-nieces apart from David’s Amanda and Clare.
________________________
Let’s try and make some sense of this. These relations all seem to be issue of her brother Richard Edward Knight Thesiger who had died in 1984, about 17 years before her death.
Her brother had two wives:
Carolin S Grant (1) = Richard Edward Knight Thesiger = (2) Eileen Alice Still
