Great Grandfather’s Will

According to my grandmother, her father-in-law William Robinson had a falling out with one of the sons of his first marriage and this resulted in his will being contested. I’m not sure why anyone would want to contest a will like the one he left as it simply left his estate to his wife, a fairly normal testamentary disposition.

Here is the will. I was fooled by the bit that gave his address as 39 Dharamtolla Street, Calcutta (now Dharmatalla Street, Kolkata). It is not his residential address but the address of his lawyer. Now to find out where they lived. I seem to recall that they lived in Morrison Road or something similar.
