Dear Forum,

Could I trouble someone to decipher a hand written will of 1822 for Thomas Harrison of Loughborough, regards Jason Harrison

PS: The file is too big to attach
HARRISON - Kidderminster/Leicester/Loughborough, BASKERVILLE - Bromyard, COOPER - Wareham, BARTLETT - Swindon Wiltshire, Swanage
COOPER - Corfe Castle, Swanage, Wareham, Steeple
PERRINS and PERK - Old Swinford

Hi Harr2jaas,

If your file is too big then please crop and post the image in smaller sections, it will help make the handwriting larger ;)

Regards

Sarah

It's a PCC will so anyone with access to Ancestry or The Genealogist should be able to find it. Let's make a start:

"I give and bequeath to my sister Ann Raven all my household goods furniture and wearing apparel for her own use and benefit.
I give and bequeath to Elizabeth Swann the wife of John Swann of Loughborough aforesaid tailor in whose house I now reside the sum of ten pounds to be paid to her 6 months next after my decease.
I give grant and devise to my said sister Ann Raven and her assigns for and during her natural life and to be payable out of the whole of the residue and remainder of my property....yearly annuity ..sum of forty pounds of lawful money of Great Britain which said annuity... shall be paid to her or them by my trustee and executor Thomas Clarke of Melton Mowbray..."

Not everyone has subscriptions to Ancestry and the Genealogist. :(
It would be good practice, as Sarah says, to be able to work out how to attach things to a post on Rootschat (not too difficult), and then more people could look at it to try and help with a transcription.
Good luck!
