Mortgage Document - 1896 - Completed with thanks!

[pckl]

Hi all. I recently got copies of the title deeds to some of the house my family owned in the 19th Century. I'm currently transcribing a mortgage my 3x Great Aunt Martha Storey had in 1896, but am struggling on one word.

It comes midway down starting...

"Firstly ? those pieces or parcels of ground..."

It's a solicitor or their clerk's fancy writing. I'm afraid I'm not sure what this style of writing is called? If anyone can help, please.

Thanks so much.

To me it's just normal late 19th century handwriting.....very neat too I may add 

I think after 'Firstly' are just some filler marks [legal documents abhor a vacuum] OR possibly
if later before there is a 'Secondly' there may be some more 'Firstly' as in 'Firstly one'. 'Firstly two' OR possibly a mistake was make, scrubbed out & these marks put in over the 'deletion'.

Hello josey - and thanks for the prompt reply!

I do agree that it is very neat writing, but I was referring to the bold font style of the word I can't make out.

I did check further and on the second page, there is a "Secondly ? the share and interest of..."

It's the same word as on the first page, and the same word is even on the following line. At least I think it is the same word. There are a few of the bold words in the mortgage.

Thanks!

The word is 'All'

Of course it is! 

Thanks so much, Jen!

Of course - I have been reading old Scottish legal deeds for 17 years & should have seen that. The subjects in these normally start 'All and Whole'. Can't win them all....

No matter, Josey

I very much appreciate you looking at it
