Hi everyone, We are looking at a will dated 1592. In it one of the people mention is either Iedy, Jedy or Jody. The person who wrote it forms his I's the same way he forms his J's. If it is Iedy, could this be a pet name for Edith? Do either of the other names appear at that date? Regards Jenny

Think it's probably Joyday, a sort of non-conformist christian name of the 17th century.
