Help on word from will, please.

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks, Phoenix. So it is just "my said sonne" and the part we can't read is some sort of comment?

[Phoenix]

From the sense of it, he would have been describing Richard as his said youngest son.

In theory, the originals of these are at Kew, presumably in bundles of about a hundred per box, and also prsumably filed by date of probate. I was told this by a lecturer recently, but know of no one who has actually investigated.

[ElizabethHerts]

Phoenix, I bet they'd have a job finding it! I think they should let us loose in there.

[ElizabethHerts]

By the way, my only other puzzle is the word at the start of the third line on the second page.

[Phoenix]

I think that is Interess ie interest. Looking again...

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks.

[Phoenix]

There is the phrase "estate, right title and interest" on the previous page. Certainly the beginning looks the same.

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks, Phoenix, you are correct.

I'm off to bed now, so many thanks for your help.

Sorry, Elizabeth, it's too small for me to make it out. I thought you would just "snip" the actual word and post it up.

Kite, I pm'd you the full-size images. You can go into Photobucket and click on the little magnifying glass repeatedly until they appear full size, but then an ad pops up that makes itself obnoxiously difficult to get rid of so don't even go there. I don't care if you want to post those links up here, but I didn't for fear I might not be around when Elizabeth wants to take them down.
