Hi I posted a comment on this yesterday and now my post has disappeared. I had a message from a lady called Valerie from Australia but I cant seem to reply to her message. If she sees this I am really interested in what information she can give me as I am researching the family after finding an item while out metal detecting that is quite personal to members of the Hockmore/Pitt family from early 1700s.
Is there a way I can reply to Valerie via rootschat?

Hi Can you tell me if you managed to transcribe the whole document? I have downloaded some of the pages and agree its really impossible to read it. I found an item of Marys daughter Jane Hockmores son while out detecting a few months ago and am researching the family tree (which is proving to be interesting to say the least). I have visited the Hockmore residence where William and Mary lived with their children, which is fairly close to where I live.
There is a Mrs Mary Hockmore who died and was buried in London in Feb 1699 which was only a couple of weeks after a court case. Im wondering if this is her burial.

Any updates would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Rootschat Kim
In answer to your question as to wether the complete document was ever transcribed, here on Rootschat at least, the answer is no.
After my last piece of trancription, I had no reply from the original poster of the query, so I did not spend any more time carrying on with it.
You will see that these posts were from 2020, so many things may have happened in the five years since then.
According to the original poster's stats, they have not accessed Rootschat since April 2022.

You need to make 3 posts here on Rootschat before you can use the Personal Message system, so if you reply to this, you should be able to PM Valerie.

Hi i found an item while out detecting a few months ago that has links to the Hockmore/Pitt family so i have been doing some research. The story/case of Mary Prestwood/Hockmore and what happened to her is something im trying to find out about.
Thank you to the person who transcribed some of it. There is a Mrs Mary Hockmore who was buried in London in February 1699 which is just a few weeks after one of the court cases. Could this be her?  Did she attend later court cases?
