I've transcribed many Wills and I believe yours is:

1. Item I give
2. carried
3. Item I give

The word 'Item' is frequently to be found at the start of a new section in a Will. If you google the phrase "item I give", you will see many examples.

 Agree with BabsT, and I think the other word is 'therefrom'.

1. Item I give
2. carried
3. Therefrom
4. Item I give

As Babs has said, the  word 'item' very frequently starts a new sentence in a will, as googling the words 'item I give and bequeath' reveals.

A Definition:
and in addition : also —used to introduce each article in a list or enumeration

Hi everybody who contributed

I agree with the 'carried'.
It could be either 'Then I' or 'Here I' but I found another more clearer 'Then I' in the will and looks similar.

I have transcribed the will and in brackets put could be  (Could be 'Then I' or 'Here I') and leave it to the readers of the Transcripts to make up their minds. Its not that import and as what i thought it was 'Hunlgin' (The daft twit I am sometimes Honestly 'Hunlgin' DUH! )

The word 'carried' was the important one.

Again thanks

Locking post now.
