The good thing about wills is that there is a lot of common form wording. It's probably easier to read a will than a witness signature, but it is a question of getting your eye in. If I spend too long on Tudor wills, I cannot cope at all with censuses. But dialect words and alternate spellings can be challenging. Even when I made out inioie and neve, it took me some time to recognise enjoy and nephew.
