Summary of will

This is a record of the appointment of an administrator of the estate of someone who died without leaving a will.Â The text is in Latin and many of the words are abbreviated.Â The abbreviations would have been familiar to the clerks whose job was to prepare the records, but they make it difficult to decipher today.

The main points from the record seem to be as follows.

A sum of Â£200 is mentioned and appears to be a bond payable if the estate is not properly administered
A sum of Â£67-14-4 is mentioned and may be the total value of the estate

Persons mentioned in will:
