Will notes for Elinor Beryl Stopford-Sackville
Her probate index:

1992
SACKVILLE Elinor Beryl STOPFORD- of Basing Home Watts Rd Thames Ditton Sy died 1 December 1991 Probate London 21 February Not exceeding £125000  9251108891K

I have ordered this in the hope of a good list of relatives.
_____________________

Delivered on 11th November.  Her will was dated 21st June 1964. She appointed Hugh Stuart Stucley Trotter as her sole executor (he is a P-L 2C1R cousin and is a co-descendant of William Trotter (born Brown) of Horton Pace/Manor, Epsom, Surrey).

In her will she listed several people not on this datebase but included:
1. Her niece Venetia Talbot
2. Lilah Stopford Stackville of Park Cottage, Lowick, Kettering, Northants,
3. Audley Gosling of 173 Chelsea Gardens, Sloane Avenue, London,


I can only identify Venetia of these three.  Lilah must be a relative with that surname or perhaps the spouse of such, but I can’t identify her.
