Help with a will

[Elaine]

Have not had to decipher many wills and could do with a bit of help. Have my Moore's in Nailstone, Leics and am trying to work out 2 wills and I can't read a lot of the names but have just found a note after the early will and thought I would start there first.

John Moore's will 1681 names brother John Elton as executor. The page after I have tried to work out fully but could do with some input please...

This is to ~ whom it may ~ that I Mary Moore of~ in the county of ~ any thing of any ~ made by husband but what was ~ to John Elton So it would the ~ to ~ and in that ~ his to be the ~ set to my hand

have attached the original

Thanks

I think some of the spelling is very phonetic so with your clue I think the place name is Nilston (Nilfton).
It might start .... This is to verify (?satisfy) whom it may concern that I Mary Moore of Nilston in the county of ..... do disonne (disown?) anything of any wills made by my husband but what was made to John Elton.

Struggling with the rest as I can't get it big enough on my ipad mini!

Think she's saying she only knows of one will?

[Jill on the A272]

Just looking in briefly after a long hard day, this is the first line:

"This is to sertyfy whom it may consarn that I Mary"

[Anne in Carlisle]

Ah, yes sertyfy, Jill. I think the same word is on the last line too.
Anne

[Elaine]

That makes sense Anne as I couldn't work out what she was disowning as it were.

Thanks Jill, that really does help.

[Elizabeth Herts]

This is to sertyfy whom it may consarne that I Mary
Moore of Nilston in the County of Lec do
disowne any thing of any wille made by my
husband but what was maid to John Elton
So I would have the ? to throw out the
? that? I put in and that I do one his
to be the wille I have here set to my hand
to satisfy the ?

I keep toying with the word "court" for the missing words, but it doesn't quite make sense.

[Anne in Carlisle]

I thought the last word was cort (court) too.
Anne

[Elaine]

Thanks for looking everyone, going to call it a night and have a look tomorow

[Elizabeth Herts]

Could you please post the rest of the will, Elaine.

I think two of the words are "cort", but I'm not sure about the word at the start of the 6th line.

[Elaine]

This is where I get really stuck and the will mentions people I can't read the names of....and quite a bit of txt

I really appreciate the help because of the amount of info in it, I have only attempted to write a copy on paper so far...

In the name of God Amen I John Moore of Nelson in the county of Leicestershire Husbandman...and my attempt carries on with lots of gaps

People in the will
John Elton...married a Martha Moore
Brother Thomas Moore
Son Thomas
But I can't see his wife and mother named

This is the first page

[Elaine]

I found the will as John from Neeson on Fmp

[Elaine]

I did wonder if the 6th word was comit

[Elaine]

Sorry should have said 6th line word

[Janet in Yorkshire]

?? Could it be

I do (assuage) my fate to all mighty God now my body ....

I know there was a set formula for will writing, but it's so long since I read any pre 1857 wills that I'm out of touch! I think I read somewhere that the set wording may differ slightly from region to region, believed to be because of the different dioceses.

Thanks Jay, have had very little help in the way of wills and then 3 come along at once!

[Elizabeth Herts]

It's very difficult to read! Here is my less than satisfactory attempt:

Thank you for taking the time to transcribe the big one Elizabeth, can't say thank you enough to all of you. Those surnames are familiar to the registers too and it was Hennery...just could not work that one out. Will put it next to my scribble and also check those names.

I'm hoping, looking at what you have all helped me with, it will aid the transcription of the other 2 wills

[Anne in Carlisle]

Oh, well done Elizabeth! The writing s bad enough but I haven't seen one with such inventive spelling before!
Anne

[Elizabeth Herts]

If you want any more help, Elaine, just ask. I only wish the writing was a little clearer. I went straight to FMP because I found the other image very blurry.

[Elaine]

If you are sure

Have got to start Thomas Moore's as I believe it is his son but wondered if you could just help with the names as I can't find much from the other will as the parish reg. isn't complete

I haven't started writting this one out yet and it's getting late so will have a bash tomorrow. Just looking at the names right now

Ann Tavernor I think
Elizabeth ??? and grandaughter Elizabeth???
