Will of MARY DEATH nee FROST, Shimpling 1605
« on: Friday 22 January 21 04:17 GMT (UK) »
I have attempted to decipher the above Will but would appreciate help from the experts to complete the deciphering. The original Will is in two parts with lines numbered faintly on LHS. My attempt is attached as a Word doc with numbered lines as per the original but contains gaps, queries, and no doubt some errors.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Kind regards
francoso
