Richard Jeale of Woolborough, Nutfield died 14 April 1571.

A huge thanks for all of this, I will put it all together and see what it then looks like and check whether I have left a gap between any of the paragraphs I picked up from the document.

Much appreciated

I did indeed leave 3 paragraphs out - apologies for this, I have attached that now.  I have put the other parts together with a few queries which I will send once this is hopefully sorted.  I do have a lot of Jeale wills including two of his sons.  Some of the places mentioned in those two, 1593 & 1596, and his father's will of 1539 are:  Shepperton, Ewhurst, Dorking, Wolbergh, Charlwood, Woolborough, Nutfield, Chipstead Mead, Hunts and Moores Crofts, Charters Croft, Norlands Croft.

Nga mihi nui (very best wishes)

I did indeed leave 3 paragraphs out...

I think only one bequest/paragraph was missing from the original images: that for:  ...John ^the elder^ my sun...

The words in this bequest missing from the transcript are:

...to be payd to hym by y^e handes
of my exseceter at y^e ayge...

exseceter = executor

Pomare (well it should be Morena, assuming you live in the UK)

I am attaching everything I now have from you I think.  Can you please have a read through.

Much appreciated

To start with, there are a couple of issues with the original transcript which I didn't look at because they weren't marked with questions.  I also have thoughts regarding the parish in line 2 but will put them in another post.

In line 1 it is:

...viij daye of Apprell in the yere...

Transcript has August.

In line 5/6 it is:

...to be buried
w(i)t(h) in the Churche or Churche yard of my p(ar)ysh aforesayd...

This was covered in goldie's Reply #3.

In line 6/7 it is:

...mother Churche
of wynchesster iiij...

I'm not familiar with the symbol associated with this number.  The same symbol appears at the end of this line for the amount given to the poure mens chest.

Can anyone shed light on this?

Then there are a couple of sections for individuals which aren't quite right.

************************************************************************************************

These are the first two lines of Elsebeth's section.  The rest of her section is OK.

It(em) I wyll to Elsebeth my wyffe vj of my kene In deferent ly to be chosen by my ovesers

all soo I wyll to Elsebeth my wyff my besst bed & all y^t be longes to hym & vj payer of shet ?

************************************************************************************************

Rychard's section is a little confused.  Here it is in total.

It(em) I wyll to Rychard my sun on lesse ? ?ly ffarme whych lyethe in [catram?/eatram?] p(ar)ysh

& iff it happen y^e sayd Rychard to desese before y^e date of ye lesse be expered & un?

then my wyll is y^t John my sun ^childe^ shall have y^e lese be fore exspressed It(em) I wyll to

Rychard my sun vj oxen in deferent ly chosen out by my oveseers all soo I gyve to

rychard my sun lx young shyp It(em) I geve to Rychard my sun all y^e wodes apon hys farme ?

? in haryschelle?

************************************************************************************************

You have the bequest to nycolas right but you have stuck a section from Rychard's bequest on at the end.

Nycolas's bequest ends at the words for ever.  Then comes the bequest to alles.

************************************************************************************************

From there on I think all is OK.

Regarding the parish, I don't see anything like Ewehurst or ___hurst.

After Rychard J's name* I believe it is: 

...of p(ar)ys of nutf?ll...      

Or something similar.

I saw your mention of Nutfield.  This is possible, although the t isn't as clear as I'd like.


*   That's another story but I can't add to what you have.

[horselydown86]

I made a clip focussing on the parish but omitted to post it with the previous post.

[BronwenS]

oh dear, I have no idea but I have written and attached the new (final)ndocument twice but it won't send, the file is not too large.

Anyway down to it.  Found his name:
Richard Kyllycke of buggates - possibly Banstead?  they lived there, other possibilities Burwash, Burrough, they also lived in Horley.  The word Burgage comes up in the 50 page document, but the meaning of it makes it pretty unlikely.

I looked again at the original - frankly I couldn't make anything out of it, but he did live in Nutfield! 

There are two things I wondered about - do you the meaning of these:
 ovesers ...  ...chyldren as she?
I gyve to Wyllyam my sun home?

There are two things I wondered about - do you the meaning of these:
 ovesers ...  ...chyldren as she?
I gyve to Wyllyam my sun home?

1.  Regarding the first, I was mistaken when I said the rest of her (Elsebeth's) section is OK.  Here is the whole of her section:

It(em) I wyll to Elsebeth my wyffe vj of my kene In deferent ly to be chosen by my ovesers all soo
I wyll to Elsebeth my wyff my besst bed & all y^t be longes to hym & vj payer of shet ?
she left to chosse allso I wyll to hyr y^e thyrd part of y^e rest of all my houshould stuff for hyr to ?
? chyldren as she shall se good & when she shall plesse and hyr for to have too ?

Unfortunately some of the words next to the margins aren't legible.


2.  Regarding the second, the word home is correct as written in the original.

Here it means whom, so the phrase should be read (in modern parlance):  ...William my son whom I ordain...

Note that the word sun in this phrase is written:  Sune

Finally, one thing I just noticed - the  transcript has a word missing from the very last line.  The three lines for the witnesses at the end are:

wytnes of thys testament
John wodman & John ffarley
wryter hereof

ADDED:

I suspect your problem posting the transcript is that needs a unique filename each time.

The best way around this is to add a version number to the filename (v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v2.0 etc) which can be changed each time.
