The death of Thomas Smith

Ancestry has a new feature you can use to look up wills and probate records. I just found Sarah's husband Thomas Smith. He died at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford on 19 September 1887. His estate was worth 96 pounds 7 shillings (not much even then). He was born in 1831, so was 56. He left everything to his second wife Elizabeth. His address was given as West St. Helen Street, Abingdon, the same place Elizabeth was living four years later in 1891.
