Title: Seth Dickinson, Administration document
Post by: Joyce C on Monday 19 August 24 15:22 BST (UK)
Hello

Can anybody please help with a translation of the attached Administration regarding Seth Dickinson of Wakefield.

From what I can gather Administration was granted to his wife, Jane. The document is dated 16th March 1727/28, Seth was buried in Wakefield 5th February 1726/27.

There is the name Thomas Scott also on the document (and the next document) who was the the Vicar of Wakefield at that time but not sure why he appears on it.

Many thanks.

Bob

On the same day, administration of the goods etc. of Seth Dickinson
lately of the parish of Wakefield in the diocese of York, who died intestate (as
it is claimed), was granted to Jane Dickinson, widow,
his relict, who was first sworn before Thomas Scott, clerk, deacon in the Deanery
of Pontefract, saving, etc. An inventory was submitted
valued below £20, and security was provided.
