Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering word in 1637 will

Many thanks
I had thought it might be mother, although that would make the testator approximately 16 which surprised me.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help deciphering word in 1637 will

Hello,
I wonder whether anyone could help me decipher the 4th word on the first line.
“Bequeath unto my ??? Mable Wren”

« on: Saturday 20 February 21 14:07 GMT (UK)  »
Came across this memorial on a walk near Bolton...in case it's of interest to any one
“In memory of George Henderson Traveller Native of Annan Dumfriesshire who was barbarously murdered on Rivington Moor at noonday November 9th 1838 in the 20th year of his age.”

It’s Thomas....that’s why I said Thomas when you pointed out I’d made a mistake. I don’t know why I put John in. I’m most terribly sorry. I think I have managed to edit the original post so it now says Thomas. Hopefully that makes it less confusing. Again, really sorry for making a mistake.

Thank you so much for that! It certainly would go some way to explaining what’s going on. I will have a hunt round pluralism to see what else I can find. It’s such a help knowing what the correct term is...otherwise it’s really hard to know where to begin.

Might explain why weddings & burials never happen immediately....wait for letter from Kent to arrive in the Lake District...get on coach to London then another coach to Rodmersham...would take a few days ::) ;D :D

He’s Thomas
Thomas Edmundson 1770-1795 CCEd person id 5913
Thomas Edmondson 1748-1798 CCEd person id 136264

The link I posted was to a plaque in the church which says
“Sacred to the memory of Thomas Edmondson Vicar of Rodmersham Co of Kent and Curate of Threlkeld who died Oct 3rd 1797 aged 79yrs”

Which just strikes me as odd  :o

Indeed he was....he was also curate at Threlkeld/Crosthwaite and vicar at Rodmersham (on clergy database as 2 individuals Edmondson and Edmundson). I know they are the same thanks to letters I have plus the memorial plaque in the church (https://co-curate.ncl.ac.uk/resources/view/99919/)

What I find difficult is how can a priest work in 2 places, one in Cumbria the other in Kent, at the same time? Could a person be vicar of a parish and just not be there...sort of like an honorary title?
