Help with 1681 inventory please
« on: Monday 10 June 24 10:51 BST (UK) »
I have a fairly lengthy inventory I've been working on over time but some words have defeated me.  Each item has "apraised at" at the end
In jpeg 1. second item I have "... ... of wheate ...... grounds"
In jpeg 2. second item I have "two brass ....."
In jpeg 3 second item I have "two ....................."
In jpeg 3 fifth item I have "one table board and ......"
In jpeg 3 sixth item I have "one ....."
In jpeg 3 eighth item I have "two ..... two fire dogs one fire pan and tongs"
In jpeg 3 eleventh item I have "one ...."

That will do for now, I hope someone can help me with the missing words.

Just a suggestion for the item from jpeg 2:

Two brasse ketles...

The smaller loop above the halfway line of the letter can just be discerned, when compared with a real b.  There is of course the larger loop above the halfway line in both the b and the k.

Many thanks to Goldie61 for your help with this and also for the meaning of some of the words that defeated me.  Also thanks to Horsleydown86.

Just to be pedantic (!  :) ), you've written 'Each item has 'apraised at' the end'.
It actually says just 'praised'.

From my computer dictionary
"Praise : Middle English (also in the sense ‘set a price on, attach value to’): from Old French preisier ‘to prize, praise’, from late Latin pretiare, from Latin pretium ‘price’."

Thank you so much for that correction.  I thought there was a funny "a" at the start of the word!

Could I get help with a few more words that have completely defeated me.  In jpeg 4 I thought the middle item was two hay ricks but it's valued at £10 so I didn't think that could be correct.
In jpeg 5 second item I have one cradle and one trane (could this be a small bed?).
Same image third item I have One cheese …. and four cheese vates.  I just can't make out the missing word.
In jpeg 6 first line I have One pair of billows a toasting iron and pl**iming iron.  Could it be a plumbing iron?
In jpeg 7 I have Eight spoons and three …. and all other small lumber. 

Thanks heaps for any help and I promise this is the last (for a while at any rate :)

4.   ...Two hayreekes praised at...

5.1  ...one Cradle and one Tram...

5.2  ...one Cheese Steane and...

6.   ...and plaining Irons...

7.   Item  Dishes spoones and Trenchards and...


The Trenchard will mean a Trencher - a wooden plate or platter for food.

I don't know the precise meaning of the Tram and Steane.
