Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with name on a 1590 Will
« on: Tuesday 12 March 24 14:22 GMT (UK)  »
yes, think you're right there!  I was stuck on the first letter, being a Z no wonder there wasn't anything similar in the will.  Thanks so much Arthurk!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / **COMPLETED** Help with name on a 1590 Will

Can anyone help with this man's name on a 1590 will by Widow Alice Pocock from Hawkley, Hampshire.  The line reads 'Unto (........)  Pocock'  I've read through the whole will and nothing similar crops up. 

Many thanks.

Ah OK, that's a shame.  i must admit when I i saw the name Edward I thought it was the uncle, but then realised it was under most of the wills around that time!  Thanks for helping though. Regards

Hi Bookbox, thanks for taking the time to add your thoughts to my post. Can't see that there is anymore on this 1562 document, the only other Latin wording is on the Will Register at the end of  Ralph's will dated 1552 which i'll attach, maybe that might say something new.   There was no probate wording on the Original will for him.  I can see what you're saying about Thomas being a minor when Ralph died in 1552 but Ralph had nominated his wife Agnes to be executrix and can't see her mentioned anywhere, unless she died as well.   Unfortunately the Probate Diaries (where i found the 1562 document) only start in 1555, so too late for Ralph's probate record.

Well that's all interesting mainly because I had already noticed the name Edward Kent of Derington and he is my ancestor, that was why the record interested and puzzled me!  It was all getting confusing, mainly because i couldn't read what was written but that his name was on the right hand side.  But what you have read, that he was Thomas' uncle makes sense, and I'm sure you're right that Edward was a replacement administrator.  There was also a John Kent as an overseer on Ralph's will.   Thanks for all your time and help making that record so much clearer for me.  Best wishes

Hi horsleydown86.  I have found Ralf's will for 1552 and he makes Agnes his wife, his executrix, and does leave son Thomas some things.  The probate record you've helped me with was in between other records  dated 1562 but this one seems to be undated.  There is another part to this record on the right hand side but didn't post before as it seemed a lot to ask people to translate, but if you're interested in having a look it might explain the 10 year gap between will and probate.  Many thanks for your interest

Appreciate all of you taking the time to respond to my post.  It seems that his name is Ralph Saunders and son Thomas Saunders so many thanks to horsleydown86 for pointing me in the right direction, have now found his will and associated records.   Cheers!

Could anyone help with this Latin please,  It's from a 1562 Sussex Probate record.  I'm sure the place is Goring (line 4) and possibly names on line 2 and 3 but can't work them out!  Really just need the gist of what is being said.  Many thanks
