Three words and/or a name in a 1665 Cheshire Will.
« on: Wednesday 15 July 20 17:36 BST (UK) »
Hello, Please can anybody help with three words on the attached ? I am hoping that the word after "Wife" is her name but I cannot make it out nor the two words after. I believe the whole sentence reads, "I give it all to My well beloved Wife XXXXX XX XX towards the bringing up of My 6 children". All thoughts welcome and appreciated. ATB. Simon

I'm afraid it's just the word ffor = for.

You have most of it.  The missing section is:  ...My well beloved wife ffor & towards ye...

The word before the ampersand is scrubbed out ye.

Hi, horselydown86,
A big 'thank you'. Not a name but it's great to now know what is written.
