Having read that we are related but haven't had time to work out how.
Have just read Thomas Ayris will which shows that Ann wife of John Cox (sic) labourer of Clapham Surry (sic) and Jane wife of William Hobbs victualler of Marcham both received 100 pounds each from the will.
Quite a windfall for the time.
I hope to be able to send along the will. It is hard to decipher as in legal jargon. It interests me that it conveys how much he trusts his wife as executrix. Conversely it may say that he doesn't trust his sons!!!
I will need a personal message with an e-mail address to send along the will as I think I can do this.
You may be surprised to know that Jane's grandaughter Kate emigrated to Australia a hundred years ago.
Cheers and thanks for quick reply. Hyjean
