Kent / Kent Wills - Rootsweb

« on: Tuesday 20 February 24 11:10 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,

Does anyone know what will happen to the excellent wills site of Kent owned by Maureen Rawson? I tried to send a message but I don't get the email verification to confirm, so I cannot contact her.

Westmorland / Monumental Inscriptions

« on: Friday 22 September 23 12:54 BST (UK) »

Hi

There used to be a website that had the transcriptions of monumental inscriptions of Westmorland churches. I have searched & searched and cannot find it. I have looked at the website in the resources section but many of the links are broken.

Does anyone know if such a site is still available?

Thanks

The Common Room / Where are the IGI records?

« on: Friday 18 August 23 15:09 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

I have started going through and checking my genealogy record sources and ones that I found in the IGI on familysearch a few years ago are no longer there!

What has happened to the IGI?

Eg: cannot find the baptism of Bridget Dobson in Dufton Westmorland England 7 May 1607.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help understanding Chancery doc please

« on: Sunday 29 January 23 10:35 GMT (UK) »

Hi All,
I am trying to make sense of a chancery document C/1/52/233 IMG 329 on Aalt 1475-80 or 1483-85. This document refers to the reversion of a messuage in Westgate Street Canterbury, held for life by Elys Rose, widow of William Rose. As far as I know, the property was inherited by William Rose of Broomfield, son of John Rose of Wye but the widow Elys was to be looked after during her life.

I believe that the John Rose of Wye and the husband William of Elyse Rose are brothers and that the William Rose of Broomfield is the nephew of Elys and William.

In the doc in the link, at the beginning of the fourth line, I think is written nephew? So part of the sentence would read: William Rose the nephew of the said widow Rose...

Does anyone agree with this?

Thanks in advance,

The Common Room / BHO British-history.ac.uk source

« on: Thursday 25 August 22 16:57 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

The British History Online site gives a source as:
Chan. Inq. p.m. (Ser. 2), xiii, 103.

I understand that this means it is an Inquisition post mortem but I do not understand the actual reference and where to find it!

Can anyone please help.

Thanks in advance

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Lewkenore names

« on: Wednesday 03 August 22 17:17 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

I am having trouble reading some names from a chancery document C 1/330/38.

On the national archives site:

Short title: Lewkenour v Lewkenour.
Plaintiffs: John, Richard, John the younger, Agnes, Joan, Eleanor, and Anne, children of Richard Lewkenour, deceased.
Defendants: John Lewkenour, clerk, John Erneley, the elder and the younger, John Apesley, and Thomas Thetcher, feoffees to uses.
Subject: Rent charged on the manor of Sheffeld (Annexed is an interpleader by Roger Lewkenour, eldest son of the said Richard.) Decree endorsed 6 May, 21 Henry VII. Sussex.

In he original document attached I can see:
Johan Lewkenore, ? Lewkenore, Johan Lewkenore (again), Agnes Lewkenore, ? Lewkenore, ? Lewkenore and ? Lewkenore.

Can anyone read the first names? They don't seem to correspond to the Nat Arch site.

Thanks in advance,

Gigi

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Cannot read place name in will

« on: Wednesday 06 July 22 08:12 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

I cannot read the place name in this will. Could someone please have a look?

Looks like Choffeld?? It is most likely a place in Sussex.

Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Richard Lewknor

« on: Tuesday 05 July 22 14:07 BST (UK) »

Hi All,

I am having difficulty reading names in the will of Roger Lewknor knight of Trotton 1478. The will is in Ancestry. I can decipher some of them but cannot find his son Richard Lewknor. I have attached a screenshot with what I believe is his name highlighted in yellow. Is the Richard abbreviated as can be the case? All other names are written in full. There are sons: Thomas, Roger elder & younger, George, Edward, Reynold and Richard.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Gigi
