Will Death Duty

[welshspencer]

Hi all

Please could someone help me with what this death duty Reg says.  It is for John Edwards,  other people appear on the pages, but john appears twice under 176 177

Kind Regards

Hi Russell,

I read the main entry as:-
Probate 5 April 1806
Testator: Edwards John of Bourton[?] in the Parish of Wick St.Laurence Somerset
Executors: Mark May of Pillhay[?] Parish of Yatton, John Edwards of Wick St.Laurence
Legatees: 1 George Edwards son £50, 2 sarah 3 Elizabeth 4 George Edwards children the Residue at 21 or marriage, interest in the meantime for their benefit.

I think the lower entry is the Stamp Duty assessment
 . . . but open to correction
