There is no prohibition on his wife remarrying, but if she does (or if she were to die), the remainder of the unexpired lease on his premises at Hainworth goes instead to his eldest son Walter, who must also take responsibility for the care and education of the testator’s other children.

all his children duringe their minoritie and mene aige w(i)th meat drink clothe

Just beat me to it Bookbox!

Just to say where you have 'mene aige', I've got 'noneage'.
I have seen this before in wills - ie, they are 'not of age'.
Just a repeat of minority really.

I also saw 'minirite' instead of 'minorite'.

[Bookbox]

‘Noneage’ is a good suggestion. I think it is written none aige.

Not sure about miniritie. I think I would tend towards a faint, incomplete o rather than i, but the sense is clear enough.

Not sure about miniritie. I think I would tend towards a faint, incomplete o rather than i, but the sense is clear enough.

I'd agree with you in the second instance of 'minoritie' - you can just about see the faint 'o'. I still think that middle vowel is an 'i' in the first instance of the word - you can see the 'dot' above it.
As you say, the sense is clear enough.

Thank you so much!  I think I may have got thre in the end (or most of it) but it would have taken a good few days! and I am out of practice. Very much appreciated
