I have transcribed a settlement certificate but there are a few spots which have defeated me and I have attached them.
The first one I think reads "his better livelihood, maintenance, and ….. of living to inhabit in your said parish of Stoke Abbas by your permission and leave; for the furtherance". What is the missing word please?
The second one reads "Beaminster do promise for our … and ….: to you the said Churchwardens and Overseers of the poor of the parish of Stoke Abbas and your … = that if at". Again could someone fill in the missing words please?
Many thanks
