I don't think the 'mother church' here is Lincoln, sorry.

I think it could be, compare the last letter with that of "heven".

That's strange. I used a program that's supposed to construct a sharing link from an Ancestry image (visible even if you don't have a subscription) but it gave the BT link even when used on the PR image. Here are direct links (if you do have a subscription)

It's clearly Charles & Hannah.

Edited: Oops, that's the BT. This is the PR (I hope):

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Anne's surname name in Will entry
« on: Monday 25 November 24 09:04 GMT (UK)  »
Looking at the next few wills, they all have the same "D" as seen elsewhere in this will until the will of John Warrein, image 71. That has "Domini" and "Defender" in the opening phrase with the two different forms. It seems the scribe just occasionally uses the other form, and so the name here can be safely taken to be "Dane".

Cowlstocke.

Daughter Elizabeth is the "now wife" of Edward Langridge, so they could be her children by a previous husband.

Devon / Re: Mystery Winsor family in Ugborough 1780s-1790s
« on: Saturday 09 November 24 19:16 GMT (UK)  »
Since we now have that Betty was also a Winsor it's equally possible that the DNA link to the Modbury family is through her. Could she be the Elizabeth daughter of William and Grace Winsor baptised there in 1752?

 [***lin] = Tanlin (or possibly Taulin, usual u/n problem)
[****] = Likewise
 [?_ling?] = Thurling
 [?Roberts?] = Probably is Roberts, followed by a little = used to separate the names. (If that's not an =, then might be Henry Robert John Richards - one name - but unlikely.)

Somerset / Re: John Andrews & John Andrews relationship Pitney & Martock -- HELP please!!
« on: Wednesday 21 August 24 17:14 BST (UK)  »
There is a photo of his gravestone on FindAGrave.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/105096702/samuel-andrews

It's not very clear but it appears to say he died 8 February 1876, aged 89 years, 9 months and 29 days. Which means he was born in about April 1786. That fits fairly well with being baptised in July 1786, confirming he was the Samuel from Pitney, parents John and Mary.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Understanding Medieval wills

I've come across many examples of this, all in Devon but that may be just because that's the area I've done the most research in. But only ever 2 Johns, sons of John. Never two Williams or two Thomases or even 2 Johns, sons of some other name. John was probably the most common male Christian name at that time, but not by so much that you wouldn't expect other names to come up occasionally, if the godparent theory is correct.
