Name: Year of Birth:
FLETCHER, WYNDHAM JOHN STAPYLTON 1910
GRO Reference: DOR Q2/2006 in KENT (5641M) Reg KDM7 Entry Number 186
and the details on FindMyPast add that his birth was on 5 Aug 1910.

Elizabeth Bradshaw Fletcher died on 5 June 2010 from her probate and the death registration was, giving her birth year:
Name: Year of Birth:
FLETCHER, ELIZABETH BRADSHAW 1928
GRO Reference: DOR Q2/2010 in KENT (5641N) Reg 1N008 Entry Number 503319220
There was an Elizabeth Blaxland born in Q4 of 1927 in Edmonton, Middlesex to Thomas Blackland and Margaret E Hunter who had married in Q2 of 1924 in Aysgarth, Yorks. But no Bradshaw in Elizabeth’s name.
And I still cannot work out the connection to Charles Nigel Villiers.

Date of Probate Date of Document
Surname First name probate number death type Registry
FLETCHER WYNDHAM JOHN STAPYLTON 09 January 2007 2307842 04 June 2006 Grant and will Brighton
His will has been ordered to see if he has broken the family habit.
______________________
His will was dated 12th of July 1987 and a codicil on the 9th April 1991 and he appointed as executors his son Rodney Stapylton Fletcher and his step-son Charles Nigel Villiers. He died at (or from) Bodsham Lodge, Bodsham, Ashford, Kent TN25 5JQ. His estate had a net value of £920,357.
In his will he listed:
1, His late wife Elizabeth
2. Sarah Villiers,
3. Frances Campbell Harland
4. Robert John MacDonald Watt
5. His children:
(a) Rodney Stapylton Fletcher,
(b) Sally Stapylton Macleay,
(c) Jennifer Stapylton Green
6. His last wife Elizabeth Bradshaw Fletcher
There is a severe problem with all this. If his first wife died then how could Betty Horsford be that first wife?
Another problem is that I had NOT picked up that he had a son Rodney Stapylton Fletcher. Fortunately this was because his mother’s maiden name had been stored as Housfield, not the Horsfield of her marriage and of her two daughters.
Nor do I know anything about a stepson Charles Nigel Villiers.

I am extremely doubtful about this marriage as Wyndham refers to his wife Elizabeth’s grave, so Betty could not have gone on to a second marriage, which she did.
I await Betty’s will to see who she things she had as children.
