Can anyone transcribe the start of this inventory please
« on: Thursday 21 June 18 16:51 BST (UK) »
I am unsure as to whether these are debts owing to him or if he owes them (I rather think he does) as I am unable to transcribe some of it.

His name is George Raisbeck of Hangingshaw in Westmorland

Would be grateful for any ones opinion.

Thank you.

Yes, I'd go along with that.
I thought he was owing these people rather than the other way around :(

His debts amounted to £58 1s 2d.  His assets were £57 16s 2d

But his son was still farming at Hanningshaw and his will looked much healthier.
