Narrative

Martin Bruniges is a wealthy sugar refiner who has several sugar refining busnesses and partnerships over many years and up until his death aged 77 years. In his will Martin leaves a significant part of his wealth to George Bruniges ("now my boiler") and also to Martin Bruniges and John Bruniges ("children of John Bruniges deceased"). Although he does not refer to George and John as his sons, nor Martin and John as his grandsons they are all living in Wentworth Street at this time. So this would seem a likely scenario.
