Just to advise you that it will be several days before I can get to this, so others may wish to chip in.

Written 20 August 1467.

Testator is Margaret Coket of Ingham relict of Walter Coket recently of Ingham.

While I can make out some names I'm struggling to understand their context.

The names are:

John P(ar)kyn or P(er)kyn of Ingham.

John Coket of Tymworth.  (I can't rule out that this could be Joan rather than John).

Agnes and Margaret (no surnames that I can make out).

Kat(er)ine (may have a surname or a role - I'm not sure).

Isabell (may have a surname or a role - I'm not sure).

Walter? Coket.

In the fourth last line, what I think is a son named Walteru(s) Coket.

Proved 13 June 1469.

That's the limit of what I can do, I'm afraid.

Thanks, you have done a far better job than I can.

She had a son Walter who was mentioned in his fathers (another Walter) will, John Coket of Tymworth appears in a number of Coket family wills,  no idea as to what the relationship may be.

Agnes & Margaret are mentioned in Walter snrs will as daughters of Thomas Medwe of Great Livermere and were goddaughters

thanks again

With the benefit of this information I can see that the word after margarete is probably medue.

I think the word before JC's name is filiarum, the genitive plural of daughter.

It may be that the bequest - 6 shillings and 8 pence - is to JC's daughters.

Thanks again

One more belated penny has dropped.

Isabelle is her sister - the word ending isn't clear to me but it's either sorori or sororis.

Isabelle's bequest is 20 shillings.

Thanks, I am just trying to spot the names and that is not easy
