Such a shame.. I'm not keen on complaining (I'm a member). I could recreate the website for them if they wanted. Maybe I should offer?

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Tritton family Charing Kent
« on: Sunday 02 March 25 12:39 GMT (UK) »
Sadly both sites listed with Tritton wills have disappeared.
Maureen's site is still there but that particular page listed has gone
The KAS website is a dreadful mess these days, alas, and nothing can be found easily. Redesigned by a programmer. I used to rely on it for research but now it's hopeless

Thanks... I pondered over that for a long while. I guessed someone would know immediately.
In the meantime very best wishes for 2025. I very much appreciate all the help you have given me over the past year

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Herbert Forde 1552 of Sellindge - latin act
« on: Sunday 05 January 25 14:46 GMT (UK) »
Probably a very easy one for experienced basic latin readers
There is a name twice struck out (Alycia I think) and replaced with what looks like "defuncta"? Is that correct?
Do I guess that Alice would have benefitted from the Act but she died?
Are the other names Ricus Redge & Ricus Pole yeomen those that inherited or those who provided evidence?

feuar - a noun
One who holds a feu.
Feuduty
Feuduties, which were payments of money due (usually annually) by a feuar to a superior, were abolished by the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland) Act 2000. However, a former superior has a period of two years from 28 November 2004 (the date of abolition) within which to claim a compensatory payment of approximately 21 times the amount of the annual feuduty from the party who was the feuar on 28 November 2004.

Thank you so much for your reply. These ancient legal cases are so interesting and these strange legal terms remarkable.
I am wondering if this might be William Bollyng (c1430 - 1494) of Crundale, Kent? He's in the right time frame.
Anyone, once again, I really do appreciate that people such as yourself make these documents accessible to people such as me. I am truly grateful.
I'll scan these two documents again to see if there's any text that could resemble Crundale or Godmersham (where the above William owned land).

Beasts eh? I'd never have been able to divine that.
Witherna____ I'll ponder over that as it's nowhere I immediately recognise as a place in Kent (which I know well as I live here)
Witherenden?
Anyway I thank you for your efforts on my behalf. Best wishes for 2025

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / William Bollyng
« on: Thursday 26 December 24 12:42 GMT (UK) »Anyone able to give me a clue what's going on here? Obvously William has held onto something he shouldn't but what exactly and where? Both cases appear to be about the same problem between John Heth and Wm Bollyng - somewhere in Kent
Merry Christmas one and all!
