Help completing transcription please
« on: Thursday 07 June 18 14:50 BST (UK) »
Hello. If anyone can help me complete the following transcription I'd be very grateful. I have had to remove the names for various reasons (mainly being searchable by name on the net) and I'm almost there, but ideally I'd like to be word perfect as someone has misread this and gone down the wrong path with it.

I have: On the back was thus endorsed Viz:
Janry 6th 1709 – Ther…………......
Invty [Inventory], returned by Joe Bloggs adtr [administrator] off Joseph Bloggs decd [deceased ] who made oath that he knew of no more to ……....saving some effects in England w~ [which] was not ….. to his knowledge.

It is the ...... words that I need help with.
Thanks so much for any help anyone can give.
Peggy

...1709 - Then was the [within?]...

...was not come to
his Knowledge...


I wonder whether the other one is a contraction of Inventoryed (similar to two lines above).

If so, the word be should precede it, but has gone missing.
