For years I have guessed what "otherwise", or, "bro. but q." might mean; of course also considering illigitimacy. But do these words give a non-ambiguous meaning of bastardy? I think I was told once that "q." stood for the Latin, "quo", and that in this phrase it stands as abbreviation of .. something, maybe "quo uterine", which would leave no ambiguity. But might this language also be used where John is the biological son of Henry, but also a legatee of a Worthington?
