I was interested in the bit the beginning, "In the name of God so behit". So be it looks like a translation of Amen. i don't think I've ever seen that in a will.

I don't think it is a translation of Amen. I think it was a phrase that was used.  Ie 'In the name of God, so be it.'

'So be it' means 'Let it be so, I accept it as it is.'

Surely 'Amen' actually means 'So be it'?
Or have a misread this shanreach?

Another vote for Richard.
By the way, I see 'Dransfield' is actually spelt 'Dransfeild' in this clip.
This is commonly seen in old wills - 'field' written as 'feild'.

Thanks joger.
Would that equate to something like 'Lordship'?

Europe / French marriage 1639 from Rodiere

Just one word here I can't make out.

On the last line Guillame Hesdoul is the 'bailly de la ? de Clenleu'.

In another document a couple of years before this, he is classed as 'Baillie en la justice patrimoniale dudit Clenleu'.
But this says something different - I suspect an abbreviation for something.

Many thanks

The word after cord is 'as'.
It would be very helpful to post a bit larger clip (you are allowed to do this), containing a few lines around these bits, so that we can see these snippets in context.

Just to add a ittle bit to Bookbox's reply, a 'p' with a little line underneath it, (or sometimes the line is missing), could be used as an abbreviation for 'per', 'pro', and 'par' - as in this case of p(ar)lour, according to the context in which it was used.

Derbyshire / Re: William Senior's map 1616

Thanks TNP.
It's some time since I was researching in Derbyshire, (this thread is some six years old), so I will have to go back through my notes and see where this fits in, but many thanks for your input.
(The link to the actual book doesn't work - an error message comes up that there's no link to the server, but thanks for the actual images from the book you attached).

Cornwall / Re: Veryan parish register images

I see you are searching in Cornwall Vasquez.
I did a lot of research there at one time.

No doubt you have found this site, but thought I would give you a link anyway.
I found it invaluable.
It not only gives you births, deaths, marriages etc, but wills, hearth Tax, etc, but under 'Extra Searches', Muster Rolls, Settlements, Protestation returns, and many more.

https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/

 
I like the 'person search' under 'Search Database' - if you're lucky you get lots of diferent records on one search!
I see there's a will for James Johns father in 1779, and his marriage in 1773
and his probable birth in 1750.........  :)
