How can I get Help with transcribing Wills (Extracts)
« on: Tuesday 21 July 15 00:18 BST (UK) »
Would someone be able to take a look at some PCC wills and transcribe some sections of them for me? I can read most of the Wills but there are a few bits where I am not sure of what it says due to the writing.

If someone can help me please let me know and I can then send copies of the Wills.

You may find the cooperative approach is better.

Why not post whatever you've been able to transcribe yourself, and attach images of the parts that are causing trouble, just one or two extracts at a time?

That way you'll attract contributions from whoever can help fill the gaps. You'll be able to compare people's suggested readings, and perhaps improve your own transcription skills at the same time. In the long run this may be more helpful than if a single person were to do a full transcription of the will for you.

Best to post on the Handwriting & Deciphering board ...
