many thanks

There's no image attached...

I'll have another go at attaching the image!

My Latin is terrible (I got a U at O level ) so I'm only getting a very faint sense of it but not sure this is actually a will.  Several people seem to be swearing to do something (be true executors maybe??) or pay £500 pounds (tho' that sounds like an awful lot of money in those days).

This is part of the will and the bit i am particularly interested in relates to Thomas Pennington (ie where he is from).  The other two people referred to are from Thurnham and Bleasdale but I can't make out where Thomas P is from.  Hopefully someone can help in the translation.

I don't think this is a will either, but a bond for £500.

A rough translation is

May all know by [these] presents we Robert
Parkinson of Blindhouse in Blearsdale  in [the parish?] [of Lancashire]
and John Holt of Thirnam in the [county?] and [diocese?][?] and
Thomas Pennington of the same # # # #
to be held and firmly obliged to give [ ??]by free
surrender and [] in five hundred pounds of good and legal
money ####### of Great Britain the payer of the same giving to [?[ or
his  certain attorney executors Administrators successors or
assigns making whatever payment well and faithfully
we oblige ourselves and [each?] of our heirs executors and
administrators firmly by [these] presents with our seals sealed dated
twenty fifth day of February Anno Domini 1723

Sorry, but I can't make out to whom the money was due, and I have made guesses in places, but I think this is the gist of it. Maybe it was owed to the person who had made the will?

Can anyone give a second and better informed opinion 

Hope my effort helps anyway.

Correction: Not dated March but February. Have changed post.

Ahhh, yes, was just going to say, well I think I can manage that bit - it looks like "eadem" which I'm taking to be eodem i.e. "of the same [place]" as Roger has so competently translated (B+, at least, Roger  )

Thank you Roger for your translation.  As I stated in my earlier post I particularly wanted to know where Thomas Pennington was from and you have confirmed this to be Thurnham  (near Lancaster).  This helps a lot.  Much appreciated!

Kind regards

Hi Deaner. I have 2 Thomas Penningtons from Thurnham - one, a cordwainer, at sessions as a papist  in 1717, and another a husbandman renting land from the Daltons of Thurnham whose probate records are dated 14/9/1751.
