Title: Can someone decipher this for me please.
Post by: Doc1966 on Wednesday 18 May 22 13:48 BST (UK)

Hoping someone will be able to decipher the following document. The person I'm interested is Thomas Cremer.

Unsure what the document is for.

Thanks for helping

Mick

It's an entry, probably in an Act book of the ecclesiastical Court, recording (in essence) that on the 25^th day of September 1705 the will of Thomas Cremer of the parish of St Margaret in the City of Westminster was proved by the oath of Ann Cremer the sole executrix named in the same will.

I think you found this in the Westminster, London, England, Wills and Probates, 1504-1829 collection on Ancestry.  I assume you also have Thomas Cremer's will from the same source?

This won't add anything significant to what you have from the will.

Many thanks for your help. Indeed I have seen the will and it's one of many I cannot fit into the Cremer tree. Will keep digging.

Thanks
