Post by: kesaunders79 on Friday 03 September 21 20:28 BST (UK)

Hi everyone

I'm trying to decipher a Will from 1644 and having trouble with these 3 names, I would appreciate some help with them please.

Thank you  :D

I think the 3rd name is Dorothy Wococke.

Have changed my mind! Think the surname.e is Pococke - as name 2 starts with Prissilla.

I think the first is Francis Crannedge and the second Priscilla Hatt.

Well done JenB - I can see that now and it makes perfect sense! There were a couple of letters that threw me...
