More help please
« on: Wednesday 08 May 13 06:53 BST (UK) »
I would like some more help in deciphering parts of the Court Inventories from Glasgow.

I THINK I have most of it, but there are a couple of words I simply cannot work out.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

My translation is:
his testament dated 11th September 1891 along with
the Reverend Adam M Macarthur of Mumbles South
Wales both his sons which is now Egliclicted?
And signed by the deponents and the said
W Wright of this date as seladine? Hereto
That the deponent has induced? Of is desirous
to ????? upon the possession & management
of the deceased’s estate aforesaid

What I see is: 

1.  exhibited

2.  relative

3.  entered 

4.  'enter' makes sense, but the final letter looks like other final 't's so  ??  'intent' ??   Though I can't actually see that.

Hi Chesters,

I think the word seladine should be relative.
Will look at the others and see what else.

Thank you both for your very prompt replies.

Wiggy, with your help I can now see what you can. :P I think you are correct about the final word. I have looked much more carefully at the names of the executors, both ending with an R, and the last word as you say is almost certainly "enter" Looking at several other words earlier in the inventory, the R and T at the end of words are very similar, so enter makes sense, as you say.

Sandra, thank you for your help also.

I will see if I can work out the other words I am having trouble with, and use what you have shown with these words.

Again, many thanks

AC
