Percy William Dodd

[edit]

Hello Bencherlite

I thought you might be interested to know that Percy William Dodd appears to have died on 20 May 1931. My main source for this is the Calendar of all Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in The Probate Registries of The High Court of Justice in England ... 1931 D.E.F.G., p. 128. The actually entry under 'Wills and Administrations, 1931' reads:

 DODD Percy William of 12 Menai-view-terrace Bangor Carnarvon-
   shire died 20 May 1931 Administration (with Will) London
   17 December to Sarah Dodd widow and Edward Ernest Dodd
   schoolmaster.    Effects £6432 7s. 5d.

I believe the Sarah Dodd given here is Percy’s mother, and the Edward Ernest Dodd is one of his three brothers. The other two of course being Charles Harold Dodd and Arthur Herbert Dodd. There is also an entry in the on-line version of The London Gazette for 12 February 1932 with regard to Percy William and his estate and the above, pp, 995-996, which again gives his date of death. Maybe you would do the honours and add the relevant information to the article? Many thanks.

Already done - death date added with London Gazette reference. I don't think we need to note his address at the date of death as this seems unnecessary detail. BencherliteTalk 07:38, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Bencherlite

Many thanks for adding the death date and the link to the London Gazette – great stuff. Yes, I think you’re right and there’s no need to add any address to the entry itself; though maybe linking him to his bothers’ entries and visa versa might be good? We’re hoping to try and get in touch with his nephew Mark Dodd, C. H. Dodd’s son, so if we find out any more about him we’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks again for adding things.

Best regards
