Many thanks to all of you. I am so impressed by such a speedy response that i am tempted to ask for further help. These 2 words appear twice. Very many thanks. Toby.

The second word is Legacies. As Mike says, please could you post a rather larger snip from the document?

Having taken another look I think the first word is pecuniary.
