Hi,
I am transcribing a deed of the Pede family in Cringleford Norfolk dated 1520. Thankfully this is in English although many spellings are archaic and some even appear to be Middle English. I have been able to transcribe everything but two words.
In the attached parts of the deed you will see on 001 the word which appears to be 'chetell' . In the context it does not appear to be chattell as it is listed as 'ij chettell'. I have tried various dictionaries but nothing comes up. As with the second word the letters correspond with other letters identifiable in more usual words.
The second word, on 002, appears to read 'byhofull' I cannot find anything like it although the word two before it being 'lefull' is middle english for permissible or allowable and as the two words are linked by 'and' I wonder if the mystery word is something similar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
John

the second one is behoveful, or needful, necessary, profitable, etc.
chettell could be a spelling of kettle or kettles, as well as cattle and chattels

That sounds very plausible to me, thank you. And thank you for the Common Pleas links. What an interesting website. Can you search on there ???
