More help with couple of words on 1569 Will please
« on: Monday 14 June 21 16:13 BST (UK) »
I am struggling with a couple of words. One may  or may not be the name of another daughter on this will.

It is the sentence that starts bequeath unto Robert my sonne (then a word) ???? Elizabeth & Essabell my daughters (another word) ???

Any help please.

Thank you

The first 'missing' word begins with the letter 'A' and ends with an 'h'.
I wonder if it's Alith?
The penultimate letter looks more like a 'c' than a 't', but it can't be Alich?

I think it's another daughter, named Alich (Alice?) and the second word I read as Whome, although the capital W is odd,

On the very bottom line there is a 'W' written exactly the same way, .....Edward Whithed my brother.....

My best interpretation was Alich, though I couldn't see another clear 'c' to compare the fourth letter with. It might be similar to the one in executour (same line) but I'd prefer a better example.

And the other word, in context, can't really be anything but Whome. The first supervisor named at the bottom looks like Edward Whithed, and the 'W' there is the same. (As JenB has pointed out while I was typing)

Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Thanks for that everyone.
Yes I have 'Edward Whitehed' too.

 I have posted another snip for more info on the script. Is that  'Agnes - my daughter'. Think I missed that!!
