Hi Anne, I think the surname is YORK or possibly YORKE Nuala ----- Original Message ----- From: "ath" <higham@clara.net> To: <OLD-ENGLISH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 03, 2004 3:09 PM Subject: [OEL] Transcription help please > Hi all ~ > > On my behalf, Judith has kindly uploaded an excerpt from a 1660 deposition > to........ > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved36.html > > I'd be grateful for help on the surname that appears (twice) in line 3. > Many thanks > Anne H. in Epping, England > > > > ==== OLD-ENGLISH Mailing List ==== > OLD-ENGLISH Web Page > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/ > > >

Anne: The surname looks like "Cocke" to me.

Ann Instantly I would say Cocke, but could just be Gocke, you need to check any other capital Cs elsewhere in the document. Lyn B

I have to say i suspect COCKE the r's in the words Children or Lyford aren't consistant with the C/R in question. And looking at the c in the name Alice, I do see them as consistant with one another. the first letter could be a G, but i don't think so. I've never heard of the name Gocke, but it could've existed, you might also want to consider families in that area at that time. the c/r being a c really makes me doubt the possibility that the first letter is a Y, which i don't really think it looks like anyways... if it were a Y it would almost to be "stylish/ornate" for the style of the rest of the writing.

'New at this, but I suspect the name Clorke. Having never heard of the name, I googled it and it appears 10 times, one of which is in the 1600 Burials in Chanceley, Worcestershire....'just my humble opinion.

Dear all What we need is a larger sample of the handwriting. Could the whole will, or at least a much bigger chunk, be put up. It's always difficult to interpret things if there are no other examples of how that individual's hand. I would make a plea for examples being uploaded to always include considerably more than just the line/s in question. Lyn B

Hello All I also think it is Yorke not Cocke Although the r may usually represent c his r is not consistent and is exactly the same form as used in Barnes regards Chris Bartlett > -----Original Message----- > From: ath [mailto:higham@clara.net] > Sent: Sunday, 4 April 2004 2:09 a.m. > To: OLD-ENGLISH-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [OEL] Transcription help please > > > Hi all ~ > > On my behalf, Judith has kindly uploaded an excerpt from a 1660 deposition > to........ > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved36.html > > I'd be grateful for help on the surname that appears (twice) in line 3. > Many thanks > Anne H. in Epping, England > > > > ==== OLD-ENGLISH Mailing List ==== > OLD-ENGLISH Web Page > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/ > > >

I'm in the Cocke camp. There's no r consistent with the other r's in the extract.
