Confirm Bp at St Paul Bedford - LANGHORNE

[Lady Di]

BINGO!!

I can't read most of it but a couple of words I can read are "sonne" and "Benjamin" 

I'll try again with the rest of it but at least that confirms Benjamin was son of Robert of Grey Friars and Harrold Park.

Thanks so much for your help Jan.

It's great to find such an easy solution - no wonder all other descendants seemed so positive that Benjn was Robert's son. I just needed to confirm it for my own peace of mind.

As for reading early wills  I've downloaded one which may be connected to my Godfreys but am really struggling to decipher it.

I also have problems with early wills particularly pre 1600's. The worst was one that ended up in Latin and that took me days just to realise that it WAS Latin 

I also have Godfrey's in my tree but they were from Suffolk in the early 1700's I believe. Mary Godfrey married (2nd) to a guy from Buntingford in Herts so the Godfrey name died out of my tree in 1760.
