Hi

Thank you for the last few missing words - Will transcript is now complete 

I've now found another one I'm working on so may well be back in a few days.

Thanks again for all your help

We'll look forward to it!

The proving always follows the same format with the names changed for the executors and the person who is there swearing the oath.  Funnily enough I have transcribed a lot of the PCC wills and the John Danbury mentioned seems to have been there proving oaths for an age

Hi Rob

Funnily enough once the transcript was complete, I googled something on another will and came across almost exactly the same wording for the proving, and that also mentioned John Danbury - I wonder whether anyone is tracing the Danbury Family history - there should be loads to find
