Hello Penny, I'm assembling all the info I can on descent of LAGDEN, which is my main interest in Cambs. That includes all the female lines and I ususally aditionally document what I can of the male partners' own pedigree for 1 or 2 generations upwards. This marriage between Amy LAGDEN and Francis MYNOTT (or whatever spelling may be more appropriate) is one which I had in file for a while but had not confirmed until recently. What I have about them is that Amy was baptised the 16 Feb 1697 in Saffron Walden (Essex), the daughter of William LAGDEN gentleman, of Bendish Hall in Radwinter (Essex) and Mary TOTMAN of Radwinter (married there the 20 Dec 1692). Amy married Francis in Bartlow on the 02 Dec 1712, as I previously wrote. By the will of her father William (prob. 01 Oct 1731), Amy's husband is confirmed to be Francis MYNOTT. William then names their children as his heirs and that is the first and only mention I have of them (Francis, William, Lawrence, James and Mary). Amy's mother died more than 20 years later, her will having been probated on 02 Sep 1753. She never mentions the first name of her daughter Amy's husband only referring to her as her daughter MINNARD or MINARD. Her will however is particularly fraught with such spelling mistakes as "dafter" for daughter, "fowre" for four, "disceas" for decease, etc., many more than could be expected, so much so that the copy which was logged at the court had all these words underlined, presumably to signify they were exact transcriptions of the spelling in the document brought in for probation. That may well justify the different spelling of the surname MYNOTT. Amy's mother does not leave legacy's for grandchildren of living children, only those of her previously deceased children and Amy was then alive, so no mention of the MYNOTT descent. I'd be pleased for any help you may be able to give me. This is away from my previous research so I'm a complete MYNOTT novice!
