Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Sharp eyes needed please

Dear friends,

Is anyone able to decipher the word in the right margin of attached baptism record. The child William Lyon was born out of wedlock and I wonder if the margin word is a reference to this.

Thank you so much.

The Common Room / None of the Executors of a Will agreed to act
« on: Friday 31 May 24 18:56 BST (UK)  »
Dear Friends

I have a 1640 Will which when it went for probate none of the Trustees agreed to act so the Will could not be proved and letters of administration were issued instead to someone not named in Will.

Can anyone offer anexplanation as to why all Trustees might refuse to act?

Thank you so much
Peter
