Date of will

[Edward Scott]

Can anyone work out the date of this will?

it was proved in London on 26 Feb 1516/17 for John Cockett of Ampton Suffolk.

Many thanks

Edward

I think I can see it as the ix day of August 1515.

Agree with Vance.

The fifteen - xv^th - is splodged on the v, making it a little uncertain, but if there were a j following we should see it below the line.

[Edward Scott]

Thanks however a little confused, is it ix or xv^th?

Must admit I cannot see either of these from the shapes in the will

[Vance Mead]

It's the ixth day and the xvth year, both times th written above.
