Help reading "grant of administration"
« on: Friday 18 November 16 10:02 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I am hoping the more eagle-eyed among you are able to work out what sections in the attached are.

This doesn't seem to a will as such but is titled a "grant of administration?"

Bits I can't quite make out are:

Second line: The word after Chattels
Fifth line: the 2 words after St. David's
Last line ??? before ???

Thank you

I agree with William.


A Grant of Administration is because there was no Will. It is to give a named person the right to administer the estate.
