Conuence? Shining?

[Paul Caswell]

Thank you ViV and silvery,

The gap between George and Mary is neatly filled by Martha who was baptised 20 Aug 1710. Martha married in 1732 so she was presumably not considered at the time, being both female and married.

John and George were also married by the time Simon died but Mary didn't marry until 1735.

I am guessing the inventory was done by the same person who wrote the letter as the inventory is mentioned in the letter. His name looks like John Pope. I haven't found anything on him yet.

I hope you realise how lucky you are, to have such wonderful pieces of paper from over 250 years ago!

Oh I do ViV. I am trying sooo hard not to gloat.

This is the first will I have managed to get. You don't realise how things like this make the names into real people until it actually happens.
