The parish is Windermere and the County is Westmorland.
Thomas is from Low H___s. I'm not sure about John's place of residence.
Someone with better knowledge of the area may be able to fill in the gaps.
John is there because this is a bond and the law required two bondsmen. I can't answer who he is in relation to Thomas.
Hi horselydown,
Thanks for that, i tried 'low house' on Cumbria archives online and guess what came up-
1. Thomas Braithwaite of Low House, Udnermilbeck, gent., eldest son of John Braithwaite of Hollinghall, yeoman, deceased. 2. John Braithwaite of Bowness, brother of (1). Recitals: - will of John Braithwaite, 26 March 1755 - yearly rent of premises 7s. 1d., not 6s. 2d. as stated in will. Premises: [as in conveyance 23 January 1719]. Consideration: 5s. paid by (2) to (1), desire to avoid disputes.
Thanks again,
Pendlelad
