Denne v Denne 3
« on: Sunday 23 April 17 00:52 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me decipher this extract from the top of a record in the Court of Chancery.

So far I can read the following "1637 Michael Denne of Littlebourne in the County of Kent Yeoman ______ his Bill of Complaint in this Most Honorable Court of Chancery against John Denne the father, John Denne, Henry Denne and David Denne sons of ye __ John the father"

I have a feeling that this long document [of which this is just the start] relates to my Denne ancestors in Littlebourne and I would be very grateful for any help in filling in the gaps on this extract.

Any help would be appreciated and welcomed.

Thanks in advance
Matt

(As this is from C 78, it’s going to be the enrolled decree issued at the very end of the case.)
