Thread: Some help please with reading old wills

can anyone read old wills dated 1842. I bought one off The National Archives but i can only read bits and pieces i have it saved on my computer so i can attach it to an email if any can help, i would be very greatful.

Try googling for old english it may help you read it thats if no one can help .

Ok Thanks

I ordered a Will dated 1818 and also battled to read it, but I eventually got there, it took quite a while to do. I am prepared to have a go if you like - can't guarantee that I will read it though.

I'd be happy to have a go too - maybe between us we could decipher it!

Excellent have pm you both i can read a little bit, but anthing extra will be a great help.

I'll have a go at it tomorrow. Suggest we all post what we can do so we can work on it together and try to fill in the gaps between us.
