[Ian Nelson]

Could you copy more of the text around Margarett's name so we might guess from the context?

Here we go

[Ian Nelson]

to my sister Margarett   ... she is his sister ?  What's his name ?

[..claire..]

The Will is of Anne Comyns 1622

Their maiden surnames were Litchelade and they were born in London (Margarett) and Surrey (Anne/Agnes )

Devil to try and trace the family at all, very few Litchelade records available.

Could it be Stratoth ?

Usually when an arcive publishes the fact that they have a Last Will & Testament, all the names mentioned are in the index list pertaining to the item - there must be another surname against the published index.

After surfing I now find this Roman & Greek passage which contains the same word:


"battle against Seleucus in his old age had lately married Stratothe Celtiberians. ...


and this modern phrase:

9 Nov 2015 - During the attack on Fort Washington, Margaret Corbin stood alongside ... the KC-135R Stratothe United States Air Force tanker.

Hi Rena and all that answered

After trying various ways of spelling STRATOTHE in Boyds Inhabitants of London I think I may have found the answer

An Arthur STARTUSS appears with his wife Margaret LIXLADE - bit different than the spelling I had for her surname  - Lichelade, but I’m sure it’s them.

So thank you so much 😊

So pleased for you that your problem is solved.

I actually found your Litchelade (Not lichelade) surname yesterday in a website, which seemed to be a list of names in Wills.

I had a look at the second name in your image today, but couldn't find the darned website again to look for a satisfactory equivalent.
