Better to do a small section at a time. Have a go at transcribing it and see what you can get, and then we can fill in the gaps.  When some progress has been made, you can post the next section with your attempt, and so on.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Also remember to make any clip you post as near to 500kb as you can - this is the maximum limit for an attachment here on Rootschat.
It makes it so much easier to zoom in so that the words and, more importantly, individual letters, can be seen, to be able to decipher them.  ::)

Cochran, Nicol, Paton, Bruce:Scotland. Bertolle:London
