Sid's will itself was notable in three respects. One was that it was seriously out of date in that the majority of his estate was left to the White Hart Lane Pottery which no longer existed.

The second was the obvious bitterness that he felt towards his wife Janet in that her name was not mentioned, even though the names of other family members and Dorothy Lamb were – which meant that Janet would have had the hassle of proving who she was before inheriting.

The third was that Dorothy was treated better than Janet. With regard to property, Dorothy was left the house and contents in Winchmore Hill where she and Sid had lived, whereas Janet was allowed to have the use of what had been the family house in Pellatt Grove which had to revert to the estate when she left. Dorothy had an annunity of £200 for life whereas Janet had one of £208 paid at £4 per week provided she did not remarry. In 1960, the annuity was increased to £800 by the High Court of Justice on the basis that the original was not enough to make reasonable provision for the Plaintiff.
