Transcribing a will? my son Robert Francis Potter
« on: Thursday 20 December 18 21:41 GMT (UK) »
I have a section of my great-grandfather's will that I am struggling to interpret, wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions? Thanks

What I currently have...
"To my son Robert Francis Potter my gold guard and ....................... my guard to my daughter Margaret"
