        I think the Elizabeths' surnames are Walker.

            You are wonderful, I thought it might be Woodford! Thank you so much for taking the time to have a look, I can't thank you enough.

            So John didn't leave anything to children, think maybe my Thomas was a son of Thomas, hopefully one of the 5 youngest children, would welcome any thoughts. Believe I am back to Thomas with the right info. as the Bishop Transcripts leave clues to family relationships thank goodness.

              Elaine, it's very badly written with repetition and omission in equal measure. The spelling is quite random, too! I'm pleased I was able to help to some extent.

                      The Latin at the end is usually the Probate. You can work out the date and name of person granted probate if you are lucky
