Bond or Administration
« on: Friday 25 May 18 21:00 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone let me know what the attached image [taken from the top of a probate record] says?

I can see what looks like "Richard Hayden" in the first line but I'm not completely sure of the next two lines.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Matt

May all men know by these presents that we, Richard Haydon of Long Compton in the county of Warwick, husbandman, and John Keene in the county of Gloucester, yeoman, are held and firmly bound to the worshipful ...

If it's from a set of probate records, it’s probably an administration bond, but this extract is too short to confirm that.

Hi

Thanks to everyone for those useful bits of info. It was mainly those names in the first bit I wanted to confirm before I could establish if this document was of relevance to my research.

It seems a bit odd that it describes John Keene of "in the county of Gloucester" but without naming where in the parish he was from. Is that just how these documents were worded?

I believe that this is the start of an administration bond and I am posting the next part here now in case anyone can confirm this or tell me what other info is in this.

Thank again
Matt

Hi Matt, John Keene should have had his parish named. Perhaps it was unknown at the time of writing, or omitted in error?

To confirm what sort of bond this is you need the English section, the 'Condition', which should follow this Latin section. It should begin 'The condition of this obligation is that ...'.

ADDED - in case it helps, the date is 26 March 1621.

Hi

Thanks for that. I think this is the piece you are referring to - it appears to start with the phrase

"the Condition of this obligation is …. that ………… ………………… Richard Hayden Administrator of all and singular the goods and chattles of John Sawier late ……. ….. lived of the parish of Mynty…."

Attached is the top half of this section, I'll post the second half next.

Any help would be appreciated.
