Help to decipher a Will please?

[cordley]

I wonder if anyone can help me decipher where my ancestor was living when he made his will?

It reads ... of Basil Wright of Road in the County of Middlesex....

The second para has also left a few gaps.  I have worked out, so far ...

"On the 22nd Feb 1834 ?? with the will annexed of the Goods Chattels and codicils of Basil Wright formerly of the East India Company's service on their Home Establishment and of ?? Road in the County of Middlesex but late of Layton in the County of Essex Widower  ?? was granted to Edward Wright out of the natural and lawful children of the said deceased having been first sworn duly to administer.  Sarah Wright the wife of the testator the sole executrix and universal legatee named in the said will died in the lifetime"

Can anyone do better for me???

It's Hackney Road.

Second paragraph,
"On the 22nd Feb 1834 admon with the will annexed of the Goods Chattels and codicils of Basil Wright formerly of the East India Company's service on their Home Establishment and of Hackney Road in the County of Middlesex but late of Layton in the County of Essex Widower  deceased was granted to Edward Wright out of the natural and lawful children of the said deceased having been first sworn duly to administer.  Sarah Wright the wife of the testator the sole executrix and universal legatee named in the said will died in the lifetime"

An "admon" is shorthand for the "administration" of the effects of the person who died, with or without a Will.

And very often a "c" does look more like an "r" to our modern eyes!

Brilliant - thank you so much.  This was a really short will, I have just spent ages on a much longer one!!  If you had a moment can you decipher the word before Bank in the second line from this mid 1700 will??

That phrase is "per Cent Bank Annuities"

It is:  ...one of the natural and lawful children...

Again, thank you so much.
