Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1622 Latin Probate for the Will of Richard Cocklinge
« on: Sunday 04 May 25 12:09 BST (UK) »
Not sure of the words inserted above line 3 in this probate (highlighted in orange)
ante scriptu(m) testamentu(m) (..) cum cod(ic)illo (..) (..) annexo in (..) Margaretae Cocklinge
Both wife Margaret and son Valentine were appointed executors in the will, but the will didn't appear to have a codicil.

Thank you ever so much horselydown86
Appreciated the corrections, explanations and references
Not sure why h(uius)mo(d)i was left out... I know it well
Took a guess on the first word of the last line as Birkhened was referred to as the procurator each time he was mentioned in the letter of administration.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1631 Latin Probate/Pronouncement for Michael Norwood
« on: Saturday 26 April 25 23:34 BST (UK) »
A Letter of Administration, if that's what it was called (in Latin) was written after the death of Michael Norwood of Thanet. It contained relatively few contractions and was quite legible. However, the probate/pronouncement (not sure of the correct term) had most of its words contracted, which is where I run into difficulties.
Would it be possible to review the following.
edit: Richard Birkhened, notary public in the letter of administration
Ita pronuntiavimus
Ric: Clerk, Surrogat(usque?)
7ᵒ Februarij 1631 in(stantis?) &c
Lect(a) et lat(a) fuit Em(ol)u(t)i(o) s(enio)r(is) per Scr(ipt)um: an(te)d(i)c(tum) in eccl(es)ia p(ar)o(ch)iali
D(omina): Margaret(æ) Cantuar(iensis) judicialit(e)r seden(te) ad petit(ionem) M(agistri): Birkhened
P(ro)c(u)r(a)t(o)ris &c p(ar)tibus p(rese)nt(ibus) in act(i)s testibus &c.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin word before names
« on: Wednesday 23 April 25 10:32 BST (UK) »
As always, spot on - and many thanks for the explanation, even though I didn’t provide much context.
I’ll keep it in mind for next time.
.. , Annam Shoncke, filiam n(atu)ralem et l(egi)timam, Mariam Norwood al(ia)s Shoncke def(un)c(t)am, dum vixit, filiam n(atu)ralem et l(egi)timam praefati Thomae Norwood senioris def(un)c(t)i, ..
Three pages to work through (1 down) - the text is relatively clear, with fewer contractions and quite a bit of repetition. It should be a good exercise to improve. I’m trying not to post too much on this one.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin word before names
« on: Tuesday 22 April 25 22:27 BST (UK) »
At first glance, I thought these words were Item that appear before/near many of the names in a 1631 Latin Will (not the probate)? itim, itima, itimas. Although they often appear with a flourish above.
