| May 26, 2014 at 21:39 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | @BeckyG A quick search (genealogy.stackexchange.com/search?q=codicil) reveals no other mentions of codicils on our site. Consequently, if you are not able to find an answer to what they are easily elsewhere, then I think your Comment would be a valuable Question to post here. | |
| May 25, 2014 at 18:58 | comment | added | BeckyG | What are codicils? And how does that tell me the year it was amended? (Sorry I am a complete newby to this) | |
| May 25, 2014 at 18:22 | comment | added | Jan Murphy♦ | I see codicils in the images, which means that we have dates for when the will was amended. | |

| May 25, 2014 at 7:31 | comment | added | BeckyG | @lejonet Thanks for your comments. Apologies, In my first question where we were talking about using this to find other info they said to post the whole lot. I have started a transcription but not got very far. I'll keep going and ask for help if I get stuck. Thanks | |
| May 25, 2014 at 7:30 | comment | added | BeckyG | @JanMurphy Hi, thanks for your comments. Just added the info about year to the question for you. | |

| May 25, 2014 at 0:10 | comment | added | PolyGeo♦ | I hope you do not mind me suggesting that you edit your Question down to just the first place you may be stuck with your own transcription efforts. GFH SE users are very helpful but asking for a full transcription of a Will makes this Question too broad. Help transcribing a few sentences from a Will would be about what we would normally see here. | |
| May 24, 2014 at 22:22 | comment | added | lejonet | Even if this was a modern document I’d need an hour to typewrite it. I think you should start your own transcription and ask for help when there are gaps. | |

| May 24, 2014 at 18:55 | comment | added | Jan Murphy♦ | Could you add some dates to the question about when the will was probated and when the deceased lived? That will help to place the will in context. | |
