Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: The meaning of a medieval term
« on: Thursday 23 January 25 08:03 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks again, I have noticed that some Inquisitions into certain people who have since died would be noted as “Post Mortem”, so, in the case that I was researching, that term was not employed, and, besides which, I have at least three pieces of evidence that the gentleman was alive many years later.
I have not come across the word nuper however, so will bear that one in mind.
Thanks also to Shanreagh for your input.

Thank you for that, it may certainly come in handy at some stage. In the case that I am researching at the moment, I do consult Edward Hasted’s survey of different parishes and here he has given me the surname of the family and their residence, but I needed to find out whether it was the father or the son who purchased the manor. Having read the Wills of both men they only refer to their manors, lands etc. in Kent or Sussex or various counties, without naming any particular properties, so not helpful. That’s the joy of research, you have to think of other ways to come up with a solution if it’s not spelt out for you.
all the best

Thank you very much, now I can figure out who the manor was subsequently sold to.
Lovely job!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / The meaning of a medieval term

Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with the term “late of” in early documents. Will put this into context, “as to the manor late of Joe Bloggs”. I know that this doesn’t mean that Mr Bloggs is deceased, so, is it more likely to mean that he was formerly/previously the owner of the manor, or he has become the owner of late ie currently/recently ?. When I am trying to determine the dates of certain events either meaning can make a difference.
Best regards

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1891 census Leamington Warwickshire

That is rather strange and it was one of the reasons that I could not determine whether this was my Mary Ann or not. So what you have told me clinches it, many thanks.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / 1891 census Leamington Warwickshire
« on: Wednesday 10 July 24 11:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone, wondering if any of you can bring up the original census pages as I can only access transcripts. I am looking for my great grandmother’s sister and think I have found her but want to make sure. Her name was Mary Ann Hewitt born 1857. There is an entry for a Mary Hewitt lodging with a Millicent Whiston in 1891. Mary is given as single and Millicent a widow. What I really want to know is the name of the street that they lived in as it would finally allow me to knock another brick wall down! Many thanks in advance.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: This is not a look up request but a question.
« on: Tuesday 13 September 22 15:18 BST (UK)  »
Thank you spades,
I am sure that the administrators haven’t investigated some of the suggestions that you have made, so will pass this information on to them. From what I understand the names of the parents who went to NZ are known and possibly some of their children, but these would be grown up now and may or may not still be alive. Then of course, they may have had children who need tracing. I am just glad I am not doing the searching!
Cheers,

Hi Alan and thank you for another couple of valid suggestions which I will pass on to the administrators. I don’t know when the  emigration took place, as I have indicated, I am not involved with the actual search but just asked for suggestions where ever possible. Having been involved in the administration of a deceased estate in recent years which involved ,Australia, the UK and Canada, I was reluctant to get involved with this one as I know how time consuming, frustrating and hard work being an administrator can be, and quite frankly, I am too old now to get consumed by all the intricacies of the process.
  But thanks again for your input
