Hi,
I am having a great deal of difficulty transcribing the will nuncupative of Luke Downham of Wilcot near Chippenham, Wiltshire.
I have only managed to decipher only a few words so far and wonder if anyone out there can help me.
Is there anyone who would be able to help me?
Many thanks in anticipation of any help.
