Edward Tarlington's Will 1696
« on: Saturday 02 April 16 07:06 BST (UK) »
I'm hoping one of you can help with the names of Edward's parents & his brother.
His wife is Mary, & she is described as "my now wife" - is there any significance in the word "now"?
I'm trying to work out if this will was written just after Edward married Mary.
Many thanks for looking, now I just hope I've attached the detail okay! ;D Anne

I agree with Mo. That's what it looked like to me as well.

That's three of us then! Thank you for that! Now I'll try & tackle the rest of it - will probably be back for more help! Cheers, Anne

Unsure of what the 'now wife' indicates.

It may be a manner of speech indicating a person is married.

It may indicate a 2nd wife.

Thanks, Crowsfeet, it feels like that to me. I wasn't sure if it was a common term, as this is only the second Will that I've studied - most of my family were too poor to write wills!

Well, I'm getting there slowly, but quite a few words I have yet to make out! ::)
This bit is at the bottom of the page, in a different hand. Can anyone tell me what it says, please!

Thankyou so much, Bookbox!
Wish I'd paid more attention to my Latin teacher 50 years ago!
Now I know that Edward Tarlinton must have died sometime between  1694 when his Will was written, & 1696. A bit more of the puzzle in place!  :D Cheers, Anne
