Help on word from will, please.
I have finished transcribing the will of Nicholas Ayling of 1678 except for one niggly word, over which I have a complete mental block.
Could someone look at it for me please? It is the word that has been omitted on both pages of the will and is in the margin. http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/51...1_310571-00511 |

It looks - on the second page - like a word describing his son. And I am baffled. As it looks as if the scribe was!

Phoenix, I've been looking at this all afternoon on and off and it's driving me nuts.
Thanks for looking. |

The will itself is perfectly legible. It looks like
ori squiggle sic which doesn't make sense.

That's exactly what I saw, Phoenix, but it means nothing to me!

Sorry but I'm waiting to get my new ancestry sub so I can't view the image at the moment. Would you be able to post up a screenshot of the word, please, Elizabeth?

Ah, do you suppose it is Latin for illegible, or word omitted? There is the identical word in the margin of another will.

Do you think it's a Latin phrase, Phoenix?
orior, -iri, -tus - to spring, descend sic - thus On first page this doesn't make sense: To have and to hold to him my said Sonne Thomas Ayling and his heires for ever Paying out of the ? unto my daughter Margaret Sixty pounds at her Adge of one and Twenty yeares as it is above written Second page: To have and to hold the one moiety of all and singular the said Foure Closes Mead and Lane to my said Sonn John Ayling and his … Heirs And the other Moiety thereof unto my said ? said ? ? sonne Richard Ayling and his heirs for ever. |

I'll delete them when you have looked at them, Kate. Phoenix, where did you see it again? I agree, Latin seems probable. Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 02-09-14 at 07:05. |

Look at page 511. It is definitely a standard phrase and begins Ori (the r is differently formed there)
