.

Maybe George & Jane??

1918. George Myles, address still Laurel House, Crieff, Perthshire, was the informant, present at the death of his daughter's father in law, Richard Lyons, at 187, Antrim Road, Belfast

Presumably George- outside Laurel House?

No probate found for George - Scotland probate only goes to 1936

LOOKed for his death - none obvious in Crieff/Perth , 1925 onwards . Think he and his wife might have moved to Belfast with their married daughter, Catherine Lyons - so looked in Ireland Civil Records- no deaths there . BUT, their deaths would be on GRONI, not ie records after 1922!!. And none in England on Bmd

Need to search GRONI

Suspect he died 1949- from writing on back of 1916 daughter's wedding photo

And Jane died 1954?

The current Myles family live around Itchenor near Chichester. They used to live in Copthorne in Surrey. Uncle Ronnie
 died 3/4 years ago. His widow Ruth is still alive. I went to Uncle Ronnie’s funeral and met Ruth and his children 
Jeremy, Elizabeth and another son. Ronnie had a factory that made radiotherapy equipment and speedboats out of
 fibreglass. The Myles family were Plymouth Brethren.    James Lyons and Kathleen (Catherine Myles) we’re very
 friendly with the Eves family in Holywood Co Down who were coincidentally very good friends with the Grant family 
and I think the Dormans. Apart from being religious the Brethren all seem to have been very well off and networked 
between themselves.    

 

Kings Moss - maybe nr Newbliss Monaghan- Tim photo. Maybe Jane Myles seated?? Has anyone any thoughts on this ? Guess of a year??
