Intestate index Latin help with understanding
« on: Tuesday 15 July 14 08:50 BST (UK) »
Attached is a 4 line index entry for George Grimson intestate.
I am trying to determine the name in line 3 please and the word immediately after it.
Also I am unsure of the 2 abbreviated words after Anno [1st line] and the first word on the second line.

I think the abbreviations at the end of line one are "pd & Ado" [praedicto &c Administratio = (in the year) foresaid etc. Administration....].

The first word in the second line is "bonor" = bonorum = (administration) "of the goods".

The name in the third line looks like "Sarae Reader" = to Sarah Reader.

Thank you GR2.  :) for the translation. It's nice to have another opinion.
I wasn't sure about Sarae as the last letter looked like a d and wondered if it might be Lord but looking again I can see that the d could be a small a, large e joined together.

Can you tell please, what the word is after Reader?
Thank you
Kary

It's an abbreviation. As the following word is "creditori", could it be something like "prin[cipal]li"? Principal creditor? Mind you, creditor has several meanings. It can mean a person to whom an affair is entrusted or someone who stands as surety as well as someone who is owed money.

I agree with 'principali creditori'. It was not uncommon for a principal creditor to apply for administration of an intestate's estate. It would be the best chance for such a person to get his/her money back.
