1568 will & inventory

[Bookbox]

Perhaps in line 5
... payn all my dowttys (= duties due to the church, not debts)

[horselydown86]

In the inventory:

...by Alexsandar thomsson wyll(yam) holwade wyll(yam) wa
nope...

I think the apparent characters before the nope are extra flourishes on the I and P of the next line.

Also:

...hyll cassys...

How about:  ...Rye sawne and not sawne x strake ye p(ri)ce...

In the third last line it looks like it shoud be hana(n)/hava(n) or hana(m)/hava(m).  Is there a grain of that name?

[Bookbox]

A couple more bits ...

The total for the first section of the inventory is probably ix^li (= £9), not vx^li.

In the debit section of the inventory, a?y? and anyn are probably owyn (= owing).

I agree with the interpretation, but I think it's auyn.

Compare to the first a of all and odar just below,

Also:

I'm sure it's y^e Wysse.  When the double letter makes a tripod like this it should be s.

ADDED:

Apologies for the last comment- I just saw halffe.

When the double letter makes a tripod like this it should be s.

But the will itself has several examples of wyffe(s), where the double f is also a tripod.

As regards owyn or auyn, the ow- and au- combinations are very hard to differentiate in this hand.

Yes, I just saw halffe and was correcting my post (and apologizing) just as you posted.

[Bookbox]

Sorry I missed your add-on. I'm off to bed now so will leave you to it.

[horselydown86]

Presumably that item refers to the costs of his burial.

So it must be wyff(es), referring to the women who laid out and wrapped the body.

...hyll cassys...

As per the previous replies, this may be wrong and goldie's ...hyll caffys... may be right.
