    Did the will of either parent make any reference to the deceased sibling?

    The will states the following: as to 50% for my said child  (deceased one) alive at the date of my death absolutely provided that if my said child shall have predeceased me then I give the said 50% share to the remaining alive child at the date of my death absolutely.
