I do hereby declare that it is my will and mind is that my son Samuel shall have liberty to come and to have a Bed set in the nemises to me reserved during my natural Life without any........

I'm with you on all the ?s... but all I could make of that one word was nemises... I wrote it down in bits ne m ises... even then I don't think that is quite the right way to spell it...

Hope this may have helped and not made it even more confusing,

Could that word be "premises"?
What awful writing - none of the wills I have had were quite as bad!

Thanks everyone, I've just posted on my other thread to say that I've now found the squiggle second letter in another will and it seems to represent "re" so premises will be correct, many thanks.

It's one of the earlier wills I've done - from 1709, the next one is 1660 so I may be posting again later!!

Thanks again,

Jean
