Help with old will
« on: Saturday 07 October 17 09:33 BST (UK) »
Hi fellow rootschatters,

I have become pretty good over the years at reading wills but am stumped at a will for Avery PUPLETT 1622 on Ancestry, I can pick up some of the names but would really appreciate if some kind soul could have a look and just give me the basic of the names and relationships listed on there.

With huge thanks in advance,
Jo  :)

Thank you so much Cinderdrinker and Bookbox, I can't believe I was so stumped by Mathew! I really appreciate your time and effort on my behalf, a great amount of information gained.

Kind regards, Jo  :)
