Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering these letters please
« on: Saturday 26 November 22 09:59 GMT (UK)  »
Fantastic stuff, thank you. We have no idea what this actually has to do with John Symons as he was a stone mason! Think it may be church related as I think one of them says Luther Unitary in it!

So Mrs Eccles owns a house that, whomever the letters are too, has to pay the mortgage on? But Mr Heinricks wants to buy it? So if Mrs Eccles owns it, why does he ask the person if they are happy to sell it to Mr Heinricks?

Still confused just slightly less lol

It worked OK for me today, but I was looking up a recent will in the digital search collection for which I knew month and year of death. When I look up older wills the image search brings up a load of irrelevant image pages as well as the one I want.


That’s exactly what I had and in no particular order as well

Yes it’s not been great, I keep getting the pages come up in random order not alphabetical when searching!

Hi all, I’ve been sent these letters by a distant cousin and he’s ask if I can help decipher them!

I think they all relate to the same thing, I can make out small parts, but not what it actually has to do with John Symons who wrote them.

I’ve picked out that it’s something to do with a Mr Eccles and a mortgage or the deeds for a house and lack of payment, John is in Toledo, USA and the house I think is in Ottawa, Canada where John previously lived.

I can make out the name Peter Frederick Hendricks in the letter that mentions selling the house.

If anyone can decipher or even tell me what’s going on it would be a great help, thanks.

Does she have a glove on her left hand?  The Maltese cross pendant,does that mean anything?

Oooo great spot on the Maltese cross, it definitely is! I’m curious to find out why now!

Thanks for the input
