Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1558 writ inquisition post mortem
« on: Thursday 23 May 24 00:11 BST (UK) »
Hi all, can someone have a look at this writ, please. I'm just wondering what the two x's are after 'underwood gener[osi] x x qui de nobis' mean. Is it as simple as the scribe filling up a gap? Or might the letters indicate the 'profession' or rank of the gentleman mentioned. I thought perhaps the letters might be p p, but they don't match others in the doc. Thanks

Thanks Bookbox. Francis inherited a part of his father's estate on his death in 1629. Another part remained with the wife of William Stebbyn (and Francis's mother) for her natural life, or until remarriage. I'd wondered whether she may have died at the time of these postscripts, but I couldn't see any mention of her.

Thanks Horsly. Decree makes sense. Whereof also; I now see that he forms his f's in two strokes. Now you point it out, I see the capital P in prefectus, and the q in commissaque. Quite the difference in writing in these postscripts!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin probate & postscripts 1625- 1646

Hi all, there are three postscripts added in 1646 to the will of William Stebbing/Stebbyn of 1625, proved 1629. I am struggling with the first two! Plus, can anyone also assist with the highlighted word in the probate and the third postscript. My transcription is included. Any amendments to it are appreciated. Thanks Wayne

Thanks for the follow-up Bookbox.
I'll try to get a copy of the court of 1536, which will hopefully confirm the date of the earlier surrender. I notice a gap in these manor records from 1512-1522, so might get lucky, might not.

Dear Bookbox,
thanks very much for the detailed transcription and translation. I've got a bit more work to do on my Latin
.
For a bit of context, Geoffrey is the brother of John (by further entries in court, and by Geoffrey's will of 1561), and John is recorded in a court of 1550 as having died in the final battle of Kett's Rebellion of the previous year, with his lands transferring to his eldest son.
Very much appreciated.

Hi, I am struggling to get the gist of this Latin paragraph. I've attached a snapshot, and one of my transcription & translation. Corrections would be appreciated.
