Naturecraft england grandads

My Italian ancestor (great great grandfather) born in 1885 left Italy from Naples in 1910 and arrived in New York and lived in Boston, Mass and he petitioned for naturalization in 1930. He had a son in 1928 who was born in Boston, Mass (my great grandfather) so he was 2 years old when naturalization happened. My grandad was then born in the 1950s in Boston, Mass. and met my grandmother out of wedlock in England and had my mother and then I happened. So I'm a British citizen and 21 but I haven't heard of any stories like mine. If anyone wants me to go further into detail I can.

First off, I'm in England. I've been dealing with my late Grandad's estate after he passed away a few months ago. I now have a Letter of Administration and am going about closing bank accounts etc. and I'm looking to sell his house. I spoke to someone at the Land Registry and they sent me TR1 and AP1 forms, but I'm a bit stuck as to how to fill them in.
My Grandad owned 50% of the house, and his partner owned 50%, she passed away several years ago, so her son inherited her share and is a registered owner on the Title Register. He can't remember what forms he has to fill in as it was over 20 years ago! We've agreed that we want to sell the house and split the sale 50-50.
On the TR1 - who do I put down as the TransferoTransferee? Am I the transferor as I'm acting on my late Grandad's behalf? Do I need to include my Grandad's partner's son as both a Transferor and Transferee as well? What's the Consideration? Is it a full or limited title guarantee? Do we count as joint tenants although neither of us live there?
As for the AP1 - I have no idea where to start!

I feel like I need to talk about this.
My Nan just died. I wasn’t there because they’re in England and we’re in Canada. I have a feeling my mum is going to go over there when the funeral happens (at least I hope she does because she’s her mum.)
I’m trying not to get emotional about it but I can’t help it. To imagine all the memories I’ve had with my Nan to them come to the conclusion that she is no longer here any more, it feels empty. I can imagine her in that hospital bed, until she takes that last breath and then she’s no longer there any more. Just empty.
My Nan and grandad came over every summer for a week or two and we would go out and do things even if we’ve already done them before last summer. I remember during one of there visits, my Nan started having problems with her leg, it would swell and she would have trouble walking. Just went downhill from there.
And my mum couldn’t do anything to help because she’s all the way in another country. So I can’t imagine having to keep hearing that certain people involved in the medical field were being assholes, she wasn’t getting right care, she kept falling over, she kept getting worse. And my mum felt like shit not being able to do anything but listen to my grandfather struggle.
I don’t know. I don’t know how I’m going to help mum if I’m emotional myself.
I know this could sound shitty in a way but I am slightly, ever most slightly relieved that she is gone because that’s it. All the pain and suffering is over and it doesn’t string along family for thinking that she’s going to bounce back because that’s what doctors kept trying to do. Whether or not they were being honest, I don’t know. But she wasn’t ever good, wasn’t ever taken seriously from what I was told when she first started having issues just given a drug to see if it would fix it and when it didn’t just put her on another. Until she was taking over 50 tablets a day (maybe even more) and just a few weeks ago the professionals thought to themselves “huh this seems kind of strange, were going to look and see if these medications are effecting one another?” WHEN SHE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
Seems so easy to be angry. But anger never lasts and she’s gone now and I won’t have any new memories of her and I curse myself for not having a fantastic memory so that I can remember her more clearly. Just no new memories to have. But she’s gone, she’s resting, all that pain isn’t going to bother her. Maybe if she’s a ghost (something my mum believes) maybe she’ll visit us.
I think I’m scared of confrontation as well, my neighbour died months ago, my mum’s, coworkers husband died months ago and my great grandmother (mum’s side) passed away too. Seems like death is all around us at the moment. I’m not so scared of confronting death but confronting the people it affects. I don’t know the right thing to say, maybe nothing at all but I don’t want to come off that I’m ignoring it because that’s hurtful. Maybe I’ll never find the answer for it. Maybe that’s the point.
Thanks for reading.

Grandad passed away, had no will and Grandma has no mental capacity.
My Grandad passed away a few days ago, he had no will and my grandma had a serious brain injury and lacks mental capacity, so my dad can’t become her power of attorney. She is in full time care.
We are assuming everything they own will go to pay for my grandmas care bills?
I know my dad should just ask citizens advice, but just wondering if there is anything else they need to consider.
Grandparents live/d in England , parents live in wales.

Looking after both my grandad and my aunt for over 2 years non stop but my aunt is worse from asyrazenta vaccine people are on my back cost she housebound and refused to go to hospital now I got her brother to help drive her as he hates transport nhs . Now she got pylori infection was told by matrion who nagged me on phone he need it ASAP. So she starts it yesterday and today she had a mri on her head but she didn't feel well she keeps going to the toilet every 10 mins had burning feeling in her privates and didn't sleep as she was moaning all day feeling sick and had a cold on top. . Then her brother told me 1 hours b4 mri I was getting her ready (its a nightmare ) told me he had a job and told me to ring and rebook then . My problem was the woman was a nasty rude woman blamed me telling me its important etc and told her to rebook in a week just incase her med for pylori continues to make her ill . Then the woman snapped and hairdry me for asking saying the hp demands it etc. Even tho she was waiting 2 years for a mri . Should I be place responsible for everything the NHS transport when she cancel and I called wanted her to talk on the phone if she can but everything I feel is attacking me for everything she got her own mind but thing they can have a go to the point I thinking if giving up or complaining to nhs England for shooting the messager . I can't drive she don't like going to too many different appointments and I have to reliance on family . Should I complain? And what Iam responsible for ?

I live in England and have been since I was born, I have a british passport. My grandad is sri lankan if that helps. What are the steps to immigrating and becoming a citizen? Is there a system like in canada where you can apply for PR and then become a citizen? Thanks in advance.

Was just watching the episode where they have Granddads funeral last night and they meet the Uncle. Seen it a good few times so nothing new in it, but was thinking I much prefer Grandad over the Uncle, I think he was just a better character. I never really felt bad for the Uncle but did many times for Granddad.
Last year or so they had these bobble heads of the three of them, Del Boy, Rodney and Uncle Albert in Mr Price, a discount store in Ireland, it’s probably the same in England, anyways I had to get them but I felt bad there was none done of grandad.
My question is, is he a bit forgotten?

hey there,
some quick facts you probably care about:

• 34, turning 35 in july.
• primary language is english, secondary is finnish.
• a homebody living with, and taking care of, my grandad.
• height 169 cm (5'6.5").
• getting a bit bare up there.
• nerdy, but don't own a waifu body pillow or cosplay as an ewok.

with that out of the way: i'm looking for someone kind to be around, someone with a lot of free time like myself, and someone to have engaging conversations with, who also enjoys the peace which comes with walks in quiet places. i live in northern europe and i'd want you to live in europe too (time zones, similar culture, etc). i'm a curious and honest person and i seek the same in you. in fact, i seek better than me in the hopes to become as good as you can be. we could learn from each other. if however you are the type to manipulate your online statuses and obscure things from sight, it won't be long before you see my crazy side.
it's seems to be a rare thing for anyone to present themselves as they are. dressing nicely is attractive, but it really matters what you're saying with. if you're saying "me me me", i'm saying "ew ew ew". i usually prefer a plain and simple, down-to-earth look with a touch of style. i do my best to never lie. doing so is viscerally discomforting, so you'll always hear the truth from me. that doesn't mean i'll express myself without any consideration for your values and feelings (which i pay close attention to). what i seek is oneness with you, and that can only be possible through a baseline attraction, emotional intelligence, and the humility to understand one's own limitations. i would like to be with someone who tries to understand me, accepts me, and has the eyes to see my efforts, even if they aren't always loud or clear. i can be mysterious because i'm slow to warm up to others, but i try not to hide anything. if you ask, you shall receive a truthful answer.
if you didn't read my username, now would be a good time to do so. i am named this way due to a lot of pain that i still carry. it makes relationships difficult for me, but it really sucks to be lonely, so here i am, trying. it's been too many years since my first and only "real" relationship ended, and since then i've only had some online. never did i meet any of them. still being alone after so long is painful, but depression, apathy, and this upside-down world have helped to dull my emotions, but not without cost. i'd like to change that with you. looking forward instead, i hope for someone trustworthy, reliable, empathetic, and, ideally, cute. what is cute? a friendly face. kind eyes and a nice smile go a long way with me. natural beauty over synthetic sexiness. if being sexually desired is critical to your sense of feeling loved, it could be a problem. it's not easy for me to separate sexual desire and objectification (thanks internet), and therefore i don't particularly want that between me and someone i love. with time, i'd like to improve.
i'm the sort of person that would rather spend time in a graveyard over an edm concert. i'm both sincere and silly. i'd really like it if you had a sense of humour too as laughter is important for me to be able to share. as well as deeper thoughts. i find the mere existence of life, the experience of being alive, a fascinating thing. to me, most things aren't what they seem. you could say i'm not a normie. but, what is normal anyway? a stupid label, that's what.
i love music. mostly the lyricless variety. ambient, soundtracks, electronic, modern classical, drone, electro (often dystopian), conscious hip hop, jazzy chords, etc. it's a rare day that i listen to an edm banger and enjoy it. that's not to say i don't like some harder-sounding music, or that people shouldn't like what they like, i'm just a little more sophisticated than that, i like to think. i do and say some pretty potato things however so don't let my apparent intelligence fool you (: i started with rock and grunge as a teen back in england, but went off the deep end into lesser-known territory as i began exploring on my own. sound perks my ears up. i've been collecting it (digitally) for many years. it's the only true comfort i've found. never unkind, always inspirational, and reliably always there. something to aspire to be.
other than sharing music, it would be cool if we could play some pc games together. a good story or a mesmerising world with co-op would suit me. i currently play ow2, but it's kinda maddening and toxic. i'd rather play an rpg with you, like elder scroll online, or some isometric arpg. we could also watch some films together. on my own i'd usually watch something educational as entertainment, but i'd be up for some films if it made for a good time with you.
although i consider myself to hold good values, i struggle with implementing them at all times. i'm always sorry for my actions that i consider mistakes, which aren't necessarily the mistakes you see me make, but if both people are being honest, it only takes time to arrive at a common understanding, or to simply forgive and move on. i dislike grudges (but do hold them at times), and going to sleep before we've made up. i don't want to be with someone who cannot readily admit their flaws, or who doesn't trust me when i tell them i see something positive that they cannot. your reality is real. so is mine. however both aren't actually reality, just an approximation of it. do your best to approximate and i'll do mine, and let's find a way to meet in the middle, every time.
thanks for reading <3
p.s. i'd prefer if you sent a direct message rather than an instant chat as i like to exchange in a longer format, but any message is better than none. no need to write me a tome on first contact, just tell me a bit about yourself and lets see where it leads. you can call me 'm'. see my profile for all the good and bad (and an outdated photo of me, although i think i look about the same). i've got more of these posts with other details if you're still curious. enjoy the rest of your evening.
p.p.s. uncertified wannabe witches are welcome too. i'm not an accredited mystic myself, so it's only fair.

14F Hi I was born in England and have lived there my whole life, I have never even been to Australia but I want to live there in the future. My mum was born in Australia (in 1980) and lived there until she was 10. She is an Australian citizen and has dual citizenship of England and Australia. She then lived there again when she was 24 until 28 then had me in 2009 in England. I recently found out you can have Australian citizenship by descent, am I eligible?
My great gran and grandad, gran and grandad, great aunts and uncles and my mum have all lived in Australia and class as citizens.
I don’t know if this is the right Reddit to ask on, if not can you tell me which one?

Every single day I'm getting a call from some diesel emissions claim service. This would normally just be a minor annoyance, but this is particularly getting to me because they're asking for my grandad by name, who passed away in 2019.
I'm assuming the reason I'm getting the calls is because in 2017/18 I helped my grandad with his insurance, and since he was getting on in years and didn't have a phone at the time, I put my own mobile number down.
I've probably received 15 calls so far, all different numbers. If I don't answer they'll keep ringing through the day. Every call I've told them no they can't speak to the person in question because he's passed away, and asked to be removed from the calling list. As I received more and more calls, I started becoming less patient and tolerant, and multiple times have expressed my wish for the right to be forgotten under the GDPR (I need to do the training for work, so I'm aware of the general provisions), but to nobody's surprise this hasn't stopped the calls.
Is there any service I can use that would help to stop these calls, or any other advice people could give in this situation? The difficulty is that the people calling are undoubtedly one of those ephemeral entities that will be impossible to nail down, but continuing to call after being informed the person they are trying to contact is deceased just feels wrong and insensitive, and I'm sure there must be something I can do to stop this, as it's becoming harassment at this point.
ETA: I'm in England.

TLDR: My mum has been an unpaid carer for my Gran and my uncle has not been helping towards the cost of care for my Gran. Can my mum make a claim against the estate once my Gran passes? Would this affect her carers allowance? England.
My Gran has two children, my mum and my uncle. Around 2019 she was diagnosed with dementia and she has deteriorated since. She made it known to us that she didn't want to be put in a care home and she had made a will before her diagnosis. Both my mum and my uncle have power attorney over my Gran.
Since 2021 my mum has been a carer for my gran along with three other paid carers as my gran now needs full-time care. My mum now does around 55 hours of unpaid care for my gran and the other hours are done through paid carers. She has previously done more hours than this as my uncle did not want to pay for carers but my mum managed to get at least 2 days off now. My uncle refuses to care for my gran himself, which is why we have the paid carers.
My gran owns her house and it was built by her and my grandad, so it is something that my mum would like to keep in the family, but my uncle wants to sell it. He has already done an equity release on the house to pay for my grans care and he takes money out of my grans account to pay for her carers. He recently took out £10,000 for this. The only thing he contributes to helping my gran is paying for the meals, three times a week, which is £21 per week. My gran is very quickly running out of money and soon more equity will need to be taken from the house.
My mum has tried talking to him, asking if he can contribute more (he is quite wealthy) as my mum thinks that if she is contributing 55 hours unpaid towards my grans care, then he should do the equivalent himself or for paying for the carers. He says he pays for the meals and so it equals out, plus my mum gets carers allowance. (This is £80 per week).
My mum wants to work out her hours she has spent caring for my gran, and then take an average of the paid carers and work out how much money this would cost, minus her carers allowance and then minus what he pays for the meals from his side and then once my gran passes get this money in a form of shares in the house, before the estate is divided up. If my mum can get my uncle to agree to this would it be possible for this is be viewed as a debt that needs to be paid before the division? Equally, would this affect her carers allowance, as she is technically being paid?
If anyone knows any precedent or has any legal advice that would be really helpful! We are also going to contact Citizens advice.
Thank you!

Hi,
I'm really quite desperately hoping someone can help me find the last video I know of that has my grandad taking
My grandparents passed in quite a traumatic way back in 2021 (Joint suicide) and for a few years before they passed my grandad was not able to talk due to motor neurone disease
When they died I desperately tried to find their video that my grandad had put up on YouTube, I spent hours scrolling through, trying different search terms and I never managed to find it
The video is of him stood in his garden with a model house on a table talking about his new flood defence idea. His idea was to have tarpaulin installed around houses that you could pull up and hook up in the event of a flood and he had made a 'prototype' around a toy dolls house. It would of been uploaded between 2015-2020
It was titled something like David's flood defence or Dave bishops flood invention or idea or some mix of all this
I have some pictures of my grandad that I can forward but I can't seem to attach them to this post
Please please help me, I would love to be able to hear him again and show my mother
Thank you
EDIT: He lived in the UK/ England in Kent
EDIT 2:Thank you so much everyone that has helped me today trying to find this video im now going to mark this as solved
I managed to find a link to it through an estranged aunt after someone here mentioned checking old emails from family
Unfortunately it seems to have expired or been removed...I'll link it here just encase anyone knows a work around but sadly I think its lost 😕
Again thank you everyone for your help

Hello. Could anyone please help me? So my grandfather was in the US Airforce and my dad was born in the USA. At age eight my father moved to the UK and remained there until 1996 when he moved back to the US up to present day. I want to become a US citizen. Everywhere I Google it states that my father needed to be in the US for ten years prior to my birth and that two of those years he needed to be over 14 years of age, dad was eight when he moved to England and I was born in 1980. Because of my grandad being in the Airforce and my dad moving around do I still qualify? It's really confusing. My dad has only ever been a US citizen. Thank you. I really want to move to America! X

My Grandad recently passed and we are a bit unsure about how to sort out a part of the will. My Grandad and Grandmother shared ownership in their house. They had a mirror will (think that’s the right term, forgive me if it’s not) that states if one of them dies my uncle would become the owner of their share of the house. So as it stands the property should be half owned by my grandmother and half owned by my uncle. Do we need to change the land registry or will this be done automatically? And is this something we can do ourselves with ought a solicitor? This is in England BTW
Sorry, not the normal ask for help but I’m struggling to find the answer online.

Hey guys,
Bit of a naïve dumb one here. Bit of context, we moved to Australia 24 years ago and I am assisting my dad with queries around probate etc of his dead dad’s estate.
Basically my granddad (dad’s dad) passed away in 2018 back in England. My dad was estranged from him and hadn’t really had any contact with him for at least 10 years. We weren’t sure if there was a will or not and just assumed that if there was it would all go to my dad’s sister’s (my auntie) kids. My dad is also estranged from his sister and hasn’t spoken to her in over 20 years.
Anyway fast forward to end of last year we find out that there was likely no will left, so we decided to apply for probate. Probate was granted and we received the letter of administration etc for the estate.
We then emailed the Land Registry to see who owns the house and they advised that the documents weren’t available to tell us who owned the house. So we have no clue, was it sold after he passed away? Is it still sitting there empty under my grandad’s name? We don’t know.
So, is there any way to check who, if anyone, owns my granddad’s’ house? As we assumed that by applying for probate and getting the letter of admin etc it would mean we own the house also, but not so sure now. We basically want to know if my auntie got in there and sold it after his death or if it’s still sitting there and as my dad is the administrator of the estate he now owns it. And being in Australia means we can’t just pop round and knock on the door.
We aren’t talking a massive estate here, just a tiny terrace house in a rundown area.

Evening all. I’m based in England, Worcestershire to be precise and I’m looking for some advice.
Myself and my Mum are currently managing my grandparents’ house and preparing it for sale. My grandparents currently reside in a care home together and both have dementia. We are joint LPA for both of them.
The house in question is a large detached property with a driveway to the right of it. The driveway has a single garage at the top of it. The neighbours in question live in a similarly sized detached property and their boundary line begins at the fence next to the driveway and garage.
8 years ago, before my Grandad developed dementia, he had a contractor come to replace the roof of the garage which had become unstable. He informed the neighbours about the works and requested permission for workmen to access their garden for easier access to the other side of the garage. That permission was granted.
Fast forward to today and those same neighbours are now claiming that they were never happy with the work. The roof slopes slightly toward their property, and their argument appears to be that rain water could end up falling over the fence and into their garden.
This is bizarre, as there is guttering on the side of the roof that collects water and funnels it safely into a water tank in my grandparents’ garden. There has never been any incident of an overflow in 8 years and even if there were, I can’t see why the water wouldn’t simply trickle down the side of the garage on the side of my grandparent’s house. It wouldn’t impact their garden at all.
Anyway, today they put this letter through our door. I’ve removed any identifying information but it reads as follows:
“Dear [NAME] and [NAME],
Garage Roof [ADDRESS] -
Polite request to alter angle/fall on roof/remove eves/guttering
As discussed with [NAME] earlier this month we wanted to bring to your attention the angle of fall and the guttering/eves on the garage roof on the above property.
During our time in our property (we moved into [ADDRESS] in 2012) your fathegrandfathe[NAME] asked permission for the workmen to have access to our garden to assist in the roof replacement. Of course, we gladly agreed to this (we are not sure of the year but we think approx. 2016).
On returning home from work after the repairs had been completed, we found that the roof angle had been changed and lifted on the garden side of [ADDRESS], to create a sloping roof, sloping towards our property with new guttering and new plastic eves to support the guttering.
We were a bit disappointed to find the roof was now sloping towards our garden. This was not really acceptable but the work was now done.
As you are aware we are now marketing our property and understand that this could raise a dispute between yourselves and us/our potential buyers and even prevent a sale. We wanted to highlight this now rather than wait until solicitors are involved with the hope that we can come to some agreement over getting the roof angle changed to drain the water onto your side of the property to save it becoming an issue, which we are legally obliged to declare on our legal paperwork.
We also understand that in time you will be selling [ADDRESS] and if this roof was to remain unchanged, this could also become a problem for your sale.
As discussed we are always happy to help and would be only too pleased to assist in the change of the angle of the roof, to run the correct way into your premises.
We hope you do not mind us mentioning this but feel that this would be better sorted now rather than later when it could become a larger problem.
With very best wishes. [NAME] and [NAME]”
So a few points to clarify right off the bat.
The letter may read as pleasant, but these people are not. I could expand on that but it isn’t relevant to the matter at hand. I just don’t want to make these people look nicer than they are. They have shown themselves over the years to be rather unfriendly, put it that way.
They are yet to provide any form of evidence that proves there is any sort of issue with the roof in the first place.
They have provided no evidence to support their claim that the garage roof would somehow impede the sale of their house. They had an estate agency visit to give them a property valuation last month and we asked them to have the agent give his thoughts on the matter in writing to support their claim. They have not done so.
They chose, for reasons that are beyond me, not to raise the issue at the time of the works being done with my Grandad some 8 years ago, who would have only been too happy to call the contractors back to remedy the issue. Grandad wasn’t savvy when it came to construction or DIY and wouldn’t have realised there was a problem, but was good natured and neighbour-conscious and absolutely would have resolved the issue had it been raised with him.
Instead they have sat on this for years, waited until my grandparents are in care and only just decided to drop this on myself and my Mum.
The little liquid capital that my grandparents still retain is for their care fees. We cannot authorise the spending of that money on work that we aren’t sure we’re even legally obliged to have done. Especially given the house
So their complaint is iffy, their reasoning is vague and their evidence is non-existent. At least that’s how I feel, but I wanted to put this out there to see what others thought.
Can appreciate it’s hard to get the full picture without seeing the garage roof but the subreddit doesn’t allow pictures to be uploaded
