Effects under £9,000.
27 February. The Will of the Honourable Adelaide Mary Powys formerly of Lilford Hall Oundle in the County of Northampton but late of 33 Great-Cumberland-place Bryanston-square in the County of Middlesex Spinster who died 14 February 1873 at 33 Great-Cumberland-place was proved at the Principal Registry by the Right Honourable Thomas Littleton Baron Lilford of Lilford Hall the Brother the sole Executor.
The guess is that she would have put a long list of relatives in her will but I suspect enough information will be found by other means to satisfy my requirements.
