Thomas North of Castle Donington

Probably:  Mary Squires

The Mar_ is clear.  The y is probably affected by the bad soak-through.

ADDED:

Just looked at the will on Ancestry.  Many examples of y have closed tops.

So I'm happy to say Mary.

Many thanks,

I would never of deciphered 'Mary' but Mary is a daughter of Dorothy that I have not accounted for even though I cant find a marriage to a Squire/Squires.

Thomas North of Castle Donington, I knew it was '*orth'.  Can't work out the relationship yet.

Thanks again.
