Daily Mail (Hull, England), Obituaries, 1999  November 18, 1999
Daily Mail Page 30   WILLS: To the birds, 1.7m, to my daughter, nothing
United Kingdom
Obituary: 

Josephine Lavinia Boraston, 84, lived in an unremarkable detached house on the edge of the village of Brynsiencyn, near Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, where she bred rare Jacob sheep and show dogs. But when she died in May, the modest-living pensioner left an estate worth 2,288,191.
Mrs Boraston bequeathed the vast majority of this to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and ordered that a new home be found for her animals. But she also specified that her daughter Victoria, who is believed to be independently wealthy, should receive nothing.
Her will states: 'I do not wish her to inherit any part of my estate and any claim she may make against my estate shall be resisted by my executors.' A spokesman for the RSPB said last night: 'I believe it may be the biggest legacy we have ever received.' Mrs Boraston and her husband Edward ran two upmarket women's dress shops in the centre of Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, before she retired to Wales. Last night, villagers said Mrs Boraston was regarded as something of an eccentric. Her beloved Boston Terrier dogs slept in a heated kennel and villagers say she even held Christmas parties for the dogs giving them presents and special Christmas cakes made of dog food. Village general store owner Chris Parks said: 'I did know that she had a daughter and I knew that they were not exactly on good terms for a long time. 'But I have not seen her around here for quite a time. I think she lives down south, Buckinghamshire or somewhere.' He said Mrs Boraston's will came as no surprise because she was 'mad about animals'. Shopworker Wendy Davies remembered Mrs Boraston coming in to buy groceries, and she was not shocked by her wealth. She said: 'I am not surprised, no, she always had enough money.' Mrs Boraston also left 500 each to the Boston Terrier Club and the International League for the Protection of Horses. She kept her rare sheep in two fields near her home.
Mrs Boraston, a widow for around 20 years, who lived with a home help, requested that a bird and animal sanctuary be set up in memory of her father. In her will the pensioner demanded that her dogs and rare breed sheep are found a new home, well looked after and are not put to sleep.
    Christened at Coventry Cathedral, Mrs Boraston was the daughter of Alderman Doctor T Soden and his wife Louie. And part of her will allows for a commemoration to her family's service to the city. She also requested a service in the cathedral.
    Mrs Boraston, who was widowed in 1980, also donated any medals and uniforms belonging to her great uncle Admiral A Wilmshurst to the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth.
An RSPB spokesman added: 'We are grateful to Mrs Boraston, it is going to be very good news for wildlife. 'She came to us in 1994 and since then she had kept in touch. A number of her wishes were discussed, including a possible land purchase for a nature reserve to commemorate the name of her father. 'She was very keen on wildlife and was a very interesting lady, living on a farm surrounded by animals. 'Obviously, we are going to use the money to help protect and conserve wildlife, which we will do in a way best fitting her wishes.'
