Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Inventory Text and abbreviation help
« on: Sunday 13 October 24 09:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello, please could I have help deciphering the following? I am fairly new to the formulaic texts of old Admons and Inventorys.

Picture 1: What do the Abbreviations mean on the left-hand side? My first guess would be Imprimis for what looks like Impes (no pun intended). As to the abbreviation that follows for the other items I am unsure but I would guess it means something along the lines of next or then?

Picture 2: My best attempt of this paragraph is "An additionall Shidduw of goods belonging to the before mentioned Mr Wm Kirkby Pryzid by persons abovesayd 8:ber the 24th 1690." What would Shidduw be and is Pryzid a way of saying appraised? Also, is 8:ber August or October?

Picture 3: This second paragraph has me the most stumped, it seems to be a tally of expenses. I can make out Funeral expenses as the first but the rest of the text other than the values has me completely thrown.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
