| Death | 16 November 1930 (age 85) | |
| Agnes's death was registered in Ipswich in December quarter 1930.Her age is shown as 86 (i.e born about 1844). I have found a probate entry for an Agnes Mary Porter of 31 London Road, Ipswich who died on the 16th November 1930. Probate was granted to George Powell Price, a retired civil servant, on the 23rd December 1930 and the estate was valued at £19,384 3s 5d. Although I cannot yet prove that this is the same Agnes, I think the location, value of the estate and the fact that George Price was also a trustee for John's will in 1925, suggests that this is the correct Agnes. |
