Any one with access to SEAX?

I have one will to look at:

D/ABW 57/40 Will of Lucy Chauncy of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, widow 1640

So far as I can tell from the image, Lucy is only mentioning her children and (most remissly) not her grandchildren.

If she named one child of Grace and Richard Smyth, I would pay the sub, but I cannot see that she does. It looks as if she is simply doling out money for mourning rings to most of her children.

Can sks have a look at the free images to see if I've missed anything - if their eyesight is good enough.

Ooh, it's changed for the better since the last time I used that site.

The only name I can make out is Mary my daughter the wife of George Wallow(?).

Edit - d'oh, just realised there are images 2 and 3 to look at too, back in a minute...

George Chauncy my eldest sonne, Francis(?) Chauncy my sonne, Lucy ?????? my daughter, Grace(?) my daughter. Can't see any grandchildren mentioned.

Thanks, Kite.

I've just found daughter Lucy in the Visitation of London, married to Nathaniel Downe. Nathaniel's parents came from Barnstaple, and his grandfather from Torrington!!

So I think that it is no longer at all unreasonable that Grace Chauncy of Hertfordshire marries Richard Smyth of Torrington, Devon.

Whoever said they didn't move much in the Stuart period!
