the deceased was james BAGG of Wootton in Surrey.
THe Assendon link was a Joseph BAGG who would inherit if everyone else died.
He wasn't a son so must havebeen another relative.
Thanks

in years gone by perhaps the place name was two words Assen Don ?? is it ever referred to by just Assen which would then make the Lower part easier on the eye ??

You keep ignoring the superscript 'r' It's the best sign there is.

it would be easier if the L looked like an L which it doesn't.
It is a definate D.

Recall how the L in LDS was written - it's very similar.

At first glance, I would have said the middle word was South. It looks like "Sou", superscript "th", to me.
I also though that the first letter could be an "O" perhaps followed by an "l" but the equally it could be an "A". Several letters in the adjoining words are more open than the same letter elsewhere. The long letter is definitely an "s" (the ascender is before the descending stroke on the lower part, rather than after it).
