The 1855 PCC will of George Rogers has a bequest to "The Reverend Jon *eers Parry" and I can't make out the initial of the middle name. Since it's a 6-page document I was able to check practically all the upper case letters; it looks like a B minus the lower curve. It's definitely not P, R, S, T, F or D... If anyone would like to take a look, I can send a small JPEG file of the line. Thank you, Alejandro Milberg Boston, Mass. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Sounds interesting with a strong Welsh component in the name of the Rev Gent. Would you send the jpg please? Also where was George living or what was the area of his property interests at the time of making his will? I am wondering whether Crockfords would help or any other lists of clerics. Churchs and chapels often keep heir own lists of clergy and the Rev Parry may have been local or a relation. A six page will may also be an indication of some degree of the wealth of the testator and they may have inhabited the same social circle. Is there an indication as to which particular Christian denomination we are dealing with here?
