« on: Saturday 22 April 23 05:59 BST (UK) »
Could some one please try and read the last 3 lines  of this para in this WILL
Thomas HARRIS is leaving    goods to his "DEAR WIFE MARY "   however it also looks to read   almost in the next line "LATE MARY "???

This is literally 3   lines and   saying its too big i am having this issue  constantly
Any ideas why please.

If it is the correct size, then I'd suggest giving it a name of random letters, rather than saying something like "Extract of will". The system sometimes seems to prefer unique names for attachments.

Is it a pcc will?  Can you just link to it?

PS if you have done a screen shot with iPad, in my experience they are always too large.  The fastest thing I have found is to email it myself  and then attach that new version.

No its a down loaded  one

I have just  tried again    by re formatting it   in case it does not like PNG .  No luck

I have had this problem  frequently  but have managed in the end to get it to load   but not today .

Since you have posted this on the Surrey board, did Thomas live and die there?

Perhaps you could tell us the date of the will (pre-1858 or after that date) and where is was proved e.g. PCC (Prerogative Court of Canterbury), or one of the other church courts. 

There is a good tutorial here on resizing images here:

Thanks   so much Nell

I am going to go back and  re check it,       in case that  one was    one  off Ancestry,     and get back as there is  another  one that has a few  problematic lines as well that  from memory is one off Ancestry and easy to  see.

Overall  its part of HARRIS  research from the Sir William Of Crixie Essex line who    also went to Virginia and were  part the early charters.   

I  will  go and see if i can did up this other one and get back with a link .  Its a real pain these attch's   wont   load just cant work out why as they are so small  and i have altered theirtags .   Anyway .  ill be  back

Thanks Nell
