I am looking at the inventory with the will of William Lathum (Latham) which was proved in 1636. Can someone kindly tell me what the first few items are? (All the same but different values.) It is nice clear writing and I can read all the section about the bed and boulster and so on, but I just can't seem to make sense of the [bonds?] Perhaps I am just having a blank/senior moment.
The rest of the list only contains the testators apparel, two kine, the herriott, and a brasse pott.

I have left out the full names of the participants in this scenario, at present, so that we are less likely to get sidetracked.
RDL, son of RL, married in 1848 supposedly aged 28. In the 1851 census he said he was 29. in 1861 he was 37. In 1871 he was 45. In 1881 he was 55. He died in 1887 age 59. (There is no trace of him in 1841.) That gives a range of 1820 to 1828 for his birth. He is consistent about where he was born but the obvious RL who was having children baptised at that place and time does not have an RDL among them. However he did have a DL baptised in 1815 and I can find that person in 1841 but not thereafter. DL has his sister CL with him in 1841, both recorded (rounded) as aged 25, being actually 26 and 21. I cannot find a death or marriage for him.
I feel it is a reasonable conclusion that DL and RDL are the same person, but they could just as easily be brothers with a missing baptism for RDL. If RDL is actually DL then he didn't just lose 5 years when he got married, but carried on getting younger until he died "aged 59" when he was actually 72. As a final point, RDL's wife was baptised in 1830 - only 18 when they married - so he did have a logical reason to lose a few years!
It is probably a waste of time to speculate why he might have added another forename. He was a carpenter and his presumed father was a labourer so he might have been trying to imply a better social standing perhaps? (The wife's family names predominate in their descendants.)
What do other people think? Is my scenario sufficiently feasible? Are they probably the same person? There are several ancestry trees with RDL as their brick wall so I would like a second opinion or two before proceeding further.

I wanted to tidy up my records and add some death dates for people who were missing them. It was a good idea but I am struggling.
As an example take John Davenport/Devonport born 16 Feb 1895 in Salford, baptised in Cheetwood as John Willie Davenport, and his wife Alice formerly Williams. They were married 24 Feb 1927 in Cheetham and in the 1939 register they are in Sale. John was a fitters apprentice in 1911, a draper in 1927 and a market draper in 1939. (Alice is inconsistant with her age but I think she was probably the one born Cradley, Worcestershire in 1900, daughter of Samuel and Eliza.) John and Alice don't appear to have had any children.
John's father died in 1911 and did not leave a will. His mother might have died in 1913, but there are other possibilities. His younger brothers can't even be located in 1939 as their baptisms didn't helpfully record the date of birth. ( You can't go buying certificates for everybody!)
There don't seem to be electoral registers for the Cheshire/Greater Manchester boundary area online for 1940s or 50s. There don't appear to be any likely deaths in the Sale area for John or Alice, so they probably moved on, but I can't tell where or when. What am I missing/forgetting? Is there any other way of picking them up after the war so that I have some clue to which of the possible deaths they might be?

I would like some idea of the date of these ladies. The lady on the left is my grandmother Ethel Mary Latham nee Cunningham. She was born 1889 and married 1917. I have blown the picture right up and cannot be sure if she is wearing a wedding ring or not, so that won't help. Can anyone make an educated guess from the clothes they are wearing please?
