It looks like Mary Brigginshaw was still under 21 in 1731. In that year she was involved with this equity suit ...

... when she was described as an infant (= under age) and was represented by one of her guardians/trustees.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. On seeing it, I can recognise now that those are the three names you pointed out to me on the Latin section I posted..... Does an equity suit mean they have (legally) fallen out and that Bromley and Nanfan are sticking up for Mary and Margaret against Lutley who has a grievance? ...

Thanks
Sean

That's probably correct. One of the three trustees, Philip Lutley, has died, and his widow has a grievance against the other two -- both as individuals, and as representatives of Margaret and Mary. You would have to see the case-papers to find out more.

Thanks again ... I must visit (discovery national archives) more often.

cheers

TNA Discovery is one of the most valuable online tools for genealogy. 

There is also this, which maybe you've seen ...

... and other documents relating to Margaret are at Worcestershire Archives.
