1622 Latin Probate for the Will of Richard Cocklinge
« on: Sunday 04 May 25 12:09 BST (UK) »
Not sure of the words inserted above line 3 in this probate (highlighted in orange)

ante scriptu(m) testamentu(m) (..) cum cod(ic)illo (..) (..) annexo in (..) Margaretae Cocklinge

Both wife Margaret and son Valentine were appointed executors in the will, but the will didn't appear to have a codicil.

antescriptu(m) testamentu(m) ^una cu(m) codi(ci)llo nu(n)cup(ativo) eid(em) annex(at)o^ iura(men)tis Margarete Cocklinge

As the codicil was nuncupative (dictated), maybe it became separated from the rest of the will?

You're welcome. I just corrected a typo in my spelling of antescriptu(m).
