Where did Henry Poole reside? Help with Latin will of 1489, please.
« on: Saturday 18 April 20 17:15 BST (UK) »
Hello I'm relatively new here and need a spot of help with this will in Latin. In the first instance, can anyone see where Henricus Poole lived? Do the 2 words after his name "de Something" indicate this? Those 2 words occur further on in the will preceded by something else: I'll post that bit later if it might help.
If it looks like he might be an ancestor I'll have other requests too!

Thanks
Margaret

...de Devises Sar(um) dioc'...

...of Devises in the diocese of Sarum...

Before you make a clip, please first zoom the original to a readable size.

I have attached a clip taken from the Ancestry image.  Compare its readability to your clip.

Thank you very much for this, horselydown86. I can see Devises now but would never have got the next word as Sar !

Sorry my clip was small and blurry (though magnifiable)- obviously the Ancestry image is better quality but I don't have access to that.

Thanks again
