Hi again,

So it looks like I now know how to order the Escheats at the National Archives, as and when I have a chance to get to London. Thanks again.

I was wondering please if you also know what the reference "E Chart. Edw. Baron Vaux de Harwedon" might mean?


Thanks,

Richard

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / How many pounds?
« on: Monday 04 August 25 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Hello all,

I think this extract says:

"That is to say, 4 pounds of the issues and profits ..."

Can anyone confirm that it does indeed say 4 pounds or does or "o" before the "iiij" also mean something.

thanks,

Richard

Northamptonshire / Abbreviations Used in Baker's History of Northants

Hello All,

I'm looking into the Grendon family of Caldecote and have found the attached family tree in Baker's as attached.

Would anyone happen to know what the abbreviations Esc. and Br. in the references at the bottom stand for or point to? Likewise what is Fermor's Evidence?

Thanks a million,

Richard

I've been doing a bit of digging around, and I've found a number of people called Collis associated with the family. So, though I'm still not yet certain, I'm coming round to the idea that the name in the will is a phonetic rendering of Collis, such as "Kolous" so maybe more like Vance suggested.

Thanks both for the input. To be honest I wasn't even initially convinced that the initial letter was a K, but you both didn't hesitate. I see the point about the impossibly numerous variations of the letter "e", but I think I've still a way to go before I can definitively cross-reference it with other documents.
THanks again,
