I think it says Workman. ie .... George Harling my nephew and workman.

I think it is Workman too. Although the initial letter doesn't match most of the W's on the page, if you look at the bottom where it says "as his last Will and Testament", it does match that one.

Sue - thank you for posting the link, was struggling with the technology..
Kiterunner and Sue - have been looking at this for so long and all I was seeing was Monkman! Had wondered about workman but thought the letter before the 'k' looked more like 'n'.
thank you both
