Thanks Elaine, couldnt work it out, looked like a P at the beginning. But this lady was wealthy so I spose she could be independent, but then, you would think at least the son would have some sort of occupation. She did well for the daughter of a farm steward married one wealthy bloke and then had a daughter by another wealthy bloke. Her Will is very detailed and executors well known artists and she had a lot of dosh but she doesnt give any directly to the son, only put in trust for him, so may be he was a bit of a pain and didnt have an occupation.
See what you mean now, the loop of the I looks like a P and they have shortened the word. Thanks, thats rightLast edited by Heather Positive Thinker; 14-11-12, 12:45.
