How sad the council aren't interested in finding her family, or a will.
Theres one potential match on this site, I've messaged him.

Oh how awful. Romany that is a good thing to do. I feel some good should come out of this somehow.

Mr Moffatt said Miss Hill was single with no known family.

There was no information about where she was born or what her job/profession had been



That is soo sad!
I wondered how they knew her age so looked on Ancestry for 1914 births...

Theres two.....

Enid A.Hill 1914 Q1
Lambeth
1d-697 MMN Palmer

the other one is...

Enid i Hill 1914 Q1
Bromsgrove
6c-397
MMN Jarvis

This is the closest I could get:

Marriages Dec 1910
Blackman William E Wandsworth 1d 1121
***Hill Walter B A Wandsworth 1d 1121
Kennard Amy E Wandsworth 1d 1121
***Palmer Alice E Wandsworth 1d 1121

There are some Blackman MMN Kennard births so I'm assuming Walter married Alice.

Enid ALICE Hill?

1914-2008

I just hope Enids wishes are met and the bulk of her money goes to Animal charities.

I wonder who gets the rest?...The Council?
