Thanks treesquirrel,

There's probably no point in posting more of the will.

It's quite normal expression to see the word deceased in this context - his father deceased, Fred Nurk deceased etc.  I would be happier to have another example of a long-s mid-word, just to be sure; but I'm reasonably confident the reading is right, and certainly can't readily think of another word which would fit what we can see.
