As I understand it, Andrew Clark's English translation (1905-1911) omitted some of the detail that is in the original. Hence the searchable English edition on line might not deliver where the original might.Can you confirm?Hi, Thank you for getting back to me, I am not sure about Andrew Clark's translation as I have not been able to look at a copy. I haven't been able to find an online version of either version covering the years of interest or the place of interest (c. 1400 onwards re Great Tew). Given that the stone effergy in the church is supposed to be of an Abess of Godstow and that Godstow owned property there I was hoping to see a bit more mention of it.William Busby/Bosby was buried there in 1513 and has a brass but no will that I can find. A probable descendant, Richard Busbye does leave a will in 1539 leaving considerable property, presumably some was inherited. It is possible that William may have inherited from an ancestry and I was hoping to find traces of them in Godstow's accounts. I have looked every where for a will for William but there appears to be nothing at the PCC (although I have found others in the past that had been miss translated or catalogued) and the Consistory Court of Oxford doesn't start until 1516 on FindMyPast. I am not sure where wills were proved for the area prior to 1516 so the Cartulary of Godstow was my next hope!! Best wishes,Emma
I couldn't find a searchable version of the Cartulary but there's a searchable "English Register of Godstow Nunnery, near Oxford written about 1450". I read somewhere it lacked some of the Latin detail eg "... lists of witnesses were not transferred"https://quod.lib.umich.edu/c/cme/AHA2738.0001.001https://archive.org/details/englishregist12900godsuoft/page/n11/mode/2up
