View Full Version : Will help
Would anyone fancy having a go at filling in the gaps and correcting what I've patched together on a will from 1633. The handwriting is a bit different to what I'm used to and I'm struggling! It's a page long.
either put it up, or pm me, Asa.
I've recently been looking at some fairly early wills and found this site invaluable for anything in secretary hand, as it gives different variations for each letter:

Funnily enough I've just transcribed a will from 1623 which, with the help of that site, I found easier than some from the eighteenth century.
Thanks Lindsay - I'll look at that and pm you Phoenix
