1608 will - some missing names
« on: Saturday 13 January 18 16:16 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate some assistance on a few names from this will which I am finding hard to read in places.

Extract 1 - line 5 staring on the middle

I give unto * Wigglesworth
Joane * the wife of Adam * and Alice[?] Wigle
worth the wife of Roberty Wigglesworth .....

Extract - last line

What is the name at the beginning?

Extract 3 - line 3

What comes after sister?
What is the forename at the end of the line?

many thanks

Edward

Jobson - Lincolnshire, Suffolk
Needham - Lincolnshire
Wayet - Lincolnshire

Robert Wrigglesworth?

I think the surname for Alice starts with a "G"

If this will is from Cornwall I would try Joane Odger.

Thanks for the replies,  the will is from Leverington  which is a mile north of Wisbech.

I think that Alice Paulmer is probably right, Bawden looks good and there was a Bryan Wigglesworth around at the right time, however not convinced on that one yet.

It appears to be spelt:  Br?as

Brias looks most likely.
