Title: Help needed with will entry
Post by: Sarah Stone on Sunday 16 October 11 17:49 BST (UK)

Hi All.
 I don't know if any body can help but I am unable to read a will. In fact the only bit I can read is the persons name!!

It is for

 Jonet Wyllie     5/11/1640    Sometime spouse to Robert Lauchland Bonnetmaker in Leith Wynd         Testament, Dative and Inventory.      Edinburgh commissary court        CC8/8/59 

It's on the bottom 3rd of one page and top 2/3rds of the next. I presume I am not allowed to copy on to here?

Any help or advice on to where I might get help would  be appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi Sarah

You can copy sections that you are having problems with deciphering on RootsChat. The best board for this is the Deciphering & Recognition Help board here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,425.0.html

Have a look at some of the posts on that board. I never cease to be amazed by how much people here on RootsChat have been able to decipher on some of these documents!
