Title: **COMPLETED** Help with name on a 1590 Will
Post by: francis66 on Tuesday 12 March 24 13:56 GMT (UK)

Can anyone help with this man's name on a 1590 will by Widow Alice Pocock from Hawkley, Hampshire.  The line reads 'Unto (........)  Pocock'  I've read through the whole will and nothing similar crops up. 

Many thanks.

yes, think you're right there!  I was stuck on the first letter, being a Z no wonder there wasn't anything similar in the will.  Thanks so much Arthurk!
