Helping reading surnames

[willsy]

Evening everyone,

I am trying to unravel my Moore's and have a will for 1700 but I can't work out the daughter's surnames and could really do with some help as I am struggling

There is son Thomas Moore, snipped the view to include him for the handwritting and siblings...

daughter Ann ? surname begins with G looking at the way grandaughter is written

daughter Elizabeth

grandaughter Elizabeth

Thank you

[Josephine]

...daughter Elizabeth Walker?

...grandchild Elizabeth Walker?

You'd have to find another word that you know starts with a W and see if it matches.

...daughter Sarah ____ford?

Hi Josephine

I was thing the same for Sarah and I think you are spot on with W looking at will again

[Josephine]

...daughter Ann Garner?

[Josephine]

...daughter Sarah ___odford? ___adford?

What is the first letter of her surname? It doesn't match the T in Thomas, so that's not it.

willsy,

Hopefully you'll be able to find other documentation to prove their names.

Good luck! These old wills can be helpful but they're tough to decipher!

Regards,
Josephine

I was hoping I could get a handle on it as the register is a little damaged for the time period, thanks for your help and will keep digging

My pleasure, willsy!

Best regards,
Josephine

P.S. Maybe some others will take a look and add their input, too.
