1. Administration of the will of Dr William Munro doctor of medicine [formerly of Viewmount] of Inverness [and late of East India Road Poplar] was granted 30/12/1848 to John James Innes and James Innes, creditors. The will does not specify his property but identifies his wife as Eliza Katz or Munro and a step-daughter Helen Philo.
