Gaps in LWT of Frances Merrey, Lockton 1640/1642 PART 2

[en2gen]

Remainder of the gaps in this LWT.

Many thanks as always!!!

First few items.  This one is fairly heavy going.

                                ...one broune why and fortie s             [s = shillings]
in money in full satisfacktion of one why w(hi)^ch was given to
hir by hir Grandmother [?parnell] the aforesaid brone
broune why to be put forward for the said ffrances use...

...fortie shilinges to be...

...unto [An?] [wheallan? / wheattan?]
iijs iiijd...                                                                                 [= 3 shillings and fourpence]

[horselydown86]

The next section involves three people; each of whom receives the same iij^s iiij^d.

The best I can do with their names:

?mot Balingg
ffrances Gyll
Grace Burne

Then:

...poore per?    [presumably persons]
of Lockton vs to be paid unto them within one month aft  [presumably after]
my dep(ar)ture...

The next ffrances isn't a Harrison.  The surname definitely ends _enton, possibly _lenton.

I'm puzzled by the initial.  It looks like it could be a G, but if so it's different to other Gs here.

Then:

...John Harison theldest
to either of them iij^s iiij^d The rest of...

...fun(er)all expences...

...In witnes where of
I have heareunto set my...

...first above [crossed out] writen witneses heareunto specially
required

The first witness is:  Roger postate

First question, as I start incorporating the latest on this Part 2. Do you think that surname of the grandmother could be DARRELL ? I am looking at a summary of old LWTs from Lockton that someone put together years ago and the surname DARRELL appears a couple of times in the time period also associated with the surnames POSLET and TEMPLER (both of which we have seen in recently transcribed LWTs for Lockton and this family.

And....what is a "brone broune"

[horselydown86]

Do you think that surname of the grandmother could be DARRELL ?

No.  It's a lower-case p so quite different to any form of d/D.  The difference between the r and n is fairly clear, too.

There's something before the p, but it's too faint for me to even hazard a guess.

And....what is a "brone broune"

It's a mistake, I think.  He means it's a broune why, but wrote the adjective once at the end of one line and again at the start of the next.

[en2gen]

Oh darn on the potential surname of Darrell. I was hoping to find a missing maiden name. That shall have to remain a mystery for now I guess. It is very faint in that spot. I think you are correct in that description of the why.

Maybe I will leave this one open for a bit and see if anyone else wants to give it a shot.

Thank you sooooo much for your help on this. It was a really hard one for me. When I went to input your transcription I saw that I even had that messed up towards the bottom. I had no idea what the iijs etc meant, so that really threw me off. I think I get that now.

I have 7 more LWTs ordered from Borthwick for this family between 1549-1699!

[horselydown86]

I should add that the first witness name could be:  poslate

As a signature one can't expect the same discipline in letter formation.

It's certainly:  pos?ate

[en2gen]

Yes, POSLATE was a common surname here in this community. I think Roger was even a church warden. You see it spelt many different ways....even POSTGATE/POSKIT, so your version in the transcription was clear to me. It appears with those DARRELLs also....so that's why I thought the grandmother's name might be that. We shall have to have a look around and see if we can figure that one out based upon the letters you were reading....not to say what was written was right, LOL!

Thanks,
Louise
