English will of John Cokett of Tymworth 1521
« on: Friday 17 May 19 16:30 BST (UK) »
I cannot extract anything from this will - utterly frustrated  :(

This gentleman has appeared in several Coket wills so I am hoping to find out where he fits in.

I don''t need a full transcription just the important elements, ie:-

Date of will
Date of probate
Names
Occupations
Relationships

many thanks again

Many thanks, again knowing some of the names/etc, I still struggle to make them out in this will.

Shame that the children are not named, it may have helped
