thanks.

the deceased was james BAGG of Wootton in Surrey.
THe Assendon link was a Joseph BAGG who would inherit if everyone else died.
He wasn't a son so must havebeen another relative.

Thanks

Well I've fiddled with it, diddled with it, changed me glasses and traced over it, and it still looks the same...
There is a Lower Assendon near Henley on Thames...
I'm plumping for that.

[243rose]

in years gone by perhaps the place name was two words Assen Don ?? is it ever referred to by just Assen which would then make the Lower part easier on the eye ??

You keep ignoring the superscript 'r' It's the best sign there is.

i'm not ignoring it... i just am not sold on it.

[243rose]

it would be easier if the L looked like an L which it doesn't.
It is a definate D.

Recall how the L in LDS was written - it's very similar.

i could email you the whole document and then you could compare with other letters on it.
