Title: Help with 1615 Admon
Post by: Bradwell77 on Monday 04 November 24 15:59 GMT (UK)

The script is a little florid, but the Latin beats me! My interest is in the Administrator of the assets passed to the children of William Mason - named here. He John Paxton husbandman of Launton, Oxon. Does the Latin reveal a relationship?

Not specifically, but John Paxton is described as a blood-relation or kinsman (consanguineus).

Yes, ex materna latere = on the maternal side.
