Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1696 Yorkshire Will naming Tobias Taylor
« on: Wednesday 10 January 24 15:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am trying to read a 1696 will of Thomas Knaggs naming Tobias Taylor, a butcher to something for Tobias Taylor to use on Tom Knaggs'  farm at Wapley. Later in this will Thomas Knaggs names Tobias Taylor of Danby Forest as well as 2 others as administrators of his will. I am looking to see what this one word is that is written in this will.  Looks like it begins with the letter f.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,

This is an old photo about 1906 or my grandfather, Bayard Taylor and his brother and 2 cousins.
This is the only photo I have of my grandfather, Bayard and his brother together.
Can this photo be made clearer?   I appreciate your help, if it is possible.

The Common Room / What is meant by "Statues of distribution" ?
« on: Wednesday 24 March 21 18:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

In a 1866 will I am interested in understanding the term of 'Statues of distribution'? 
The  person who has this will written talks of his father's family receiving  three fifths  of the distribution of  the interest money  in some stocks  and his mother's family receiving two fifths.  No family names  are mention so I am assuming that this goes back to an earlier will perhaps of his father.
So what is meant by Statues of Distribution?

Thank you

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1691 Bill of Indictment written in Latin
« on: Friday 24 May 13 18:54 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am new to this group  and  my last post  was giving me trouble adding my  document in small enough form as by the guide line. 

This document is about Robert Lynus  my 5th great grandfather who lived in Skelton, Yorkshire.
I don't know much about Robert Lynus other than he died  about 1733 and left no will.

I was hoping to learn more about what is written about him in this document.  I understand  he was neglecting his duties as constable of Skelton.

I would be most appreciate if  you could tell me more of what is stated in this  paper.
Thanks
