---- ? Rogers.
« on: Saturday 09 May 20 22:40 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
                   Please can anyone help to read the forename of Mr Rogers mentioned in the Probate of this Will.
                   It looks to be a Latin abbreviation.
                                                     Thanks,
                                                        Pete.

It would help to post a bit larger section nogbat to get a sense of this scribe's handwriting.
Lane, Burgess: Cheshire. Finney, Rogers, Gilman:Derbys
Cochran, Nicol, Paton, Bruce:Scotland. Bertolle:London
Bainbridge, Christman, Jeffs: Staffs

Looks like Rufo, dative singular of Rufus.

Thanks goldie61 and GR2 for your replies. I think you're probably right GR2, with "Rufo".
