Hi

Can anyone give me an idea as to what Margarett's surname might be, it's completely stumped me.

Thankyou in advance

I see:-

M. Croydon

I'm probably wrong with the start of the next word. 

I see "St"

Thankyou for the suggestions so far

I had the initial letter of the surname as an 'S' too. I've looked at other words etc. in the Will and thought that the name could have been Sturtote - but I've never heard of that as a surname. She was a widow at the time the Will was written but her maiden surname (Litchelade) hasn't helped me find a marriage for her either. The Will was dated 1622.

Thankyou

A couple of examples of letters in the Will which may point to the Sturtote name being correct :-\

Hi

There are no other mentions of Margarett in the Will that I can see, and I can read most of it but this eludes me completely.

The Will is part of Ancestry's PCC Collection - Anne Comyns 12 August 1622

Thank you

more thoughts on it ... could it be Margarett St.    short for Stuart or whatever,  then in tote, meaning that's all, in total ?

Reading the Will I think it is a surname - it reads 'Margarett S ? ? ? wydowe'

But I suppose it could be short for something. But what ?  ;D
