Hi Sue,

First off, thanks for the prompt reply! Appreciate your thoughts.

Yes, I misspoke when I attributed the (still wonderful) website mannincloud to Brian Lawson. The pdf I downloaded from the site was established by Ian Radcliffe, as you suggested. Further, it seems you have contributed quite a bit to the site. Apologies for the misattribution. Finally, with a grad degree in psychology and a published author, I'm well aware of protocol for citing references. My preference, actually, is to use the transcripts as proxy until I can obtain a picture file of the original document.

Yes, wonderful recommendations - I've been to each site you refer to previously. The will of Wm that likely comes closest is Andreas 1676 on Jim Smith's site which mentions a daughter Margery Teare as exec., consistent with an offspring.

But, as you can see there is only a mention of a wife (not named) and a lot of dots ... indicating missing info? Would be great to see the actual document to interpret myself. Does anyone have access to this document?

Once again, thanks so much Sue. I appreciate this forum and the assistance.

Best,
Lyle
