Hello The PCC probate of Henry Lyndley's in 1609 will has an indecipherable marginal note (in Latin - apologies). Henry died in 1609 and probate was granted to Jeronima / Jeronyma his wife who in turn died in 1611. Both were buried at Middleham in Yorkshire. The note seems to relate to the administration of goods and mentions another Lindley (line three of the note). I am trying to determine the 'other Lindley' and the precise purpose of the note. I have set up a temporary website at: http://mysite.freeserve.com/genealogy_problems The picture on the second page (click on "Marginal Note") is slightly larger than that on the front page. Immediately below the note, another (unrelated) will starts. Any help appreciated. John Lindley Wigginton NRY

I wonder if the mystery word could be an abbreviated form of "effectum", "effictum", or something similar. I think the relationship to the deceased must be "nepoti ex f[rat]re" - nephew through the brother. The only problem is that I can't read the name as Nicholas, no matter how hard I try. It should be in the dative case, so I think the final letter is clearly an 'o'. The last few letters look more like "guro" than anything else. And is the first letter really 'N'? Looking at it closely, could it be an 'A' followed by a strange sort of flourish? I wonder if this could be a rare Christian name perhaps coined from a surname, in which case it will probably have to be tracked down in other records. I did try searching the PRO catalogue for "L*ndl*y", with the limits 1580-1670. It turned up quite a lot that could be relevant, including an inquisition post mortem described as follows: C 142/317/96 Lindley, Henry, knight: York 8 James I. If this is the right man, it would name his heir (presumably the same nephew, unless Henry had children under age). It would also be in Latin, though. Chris Phillips
