Title: Help Requested for Day & Month of 1677 Probate in English from Latin
Post by: Andy_T on Tuesday 23 April 24 01:06 BST (UK)

Hello roots chat,

I recently transcribed the English part of the will of Adrian Mundy of Quarn (Quarndon, Derby) for my Allestree Village History FB Group.

The main branches of the Mundy family were based at Marton a.k.a. Markeaton, Derby and later Wrightson Mundy at Osbaston, Leicestershire. Some younger brothers of a successive heir apparent lived at Allestree and Quarndon, hence my interest in Adrian Mundy who wrote his will 1st February 1675 and it proved in 1677, but what day and what month please, if someone can decipher that from the Latin?

Thanks.

There's quite a lot of unhelpful interference from other lines, but I would say it's:

...decimo octavo die Mens(i)s Maii...

Therefore, 18 May 1677.
