sorry it has taken a few days to say thank you but we had a family death so not been able to come on for a few days. It is going to be very interesting reading though your posts. Unfortunately for you all, I think there are going to be several more of these to translate , I have now got back to the 1500s on my husbands family tree and there are Sir’s popping up everywhere with wills etc, once again just wanted to say thank you so much for your help.
