Subject: [Ess] Places in Essex and Old wills

Hi all



A bit of a long shot but I have been working on the will of the 10th Great
-grand uncle of my husband - Gabriel JELLOWES - who was a yeoman in the
village of Lindsell, Essex. It has the date 1621It would appear that he
owned quite a lot of property in and around the area as he bequeaths a lot
to family and friends. Even though I live in Essex, I have not come across
the names of these places - although I am sure I have heard of some of them.
Obviously some would be just the names given to fields and may not have been
farms or estates. I just wondered if anyone has come across any of these
places in their research.

They are as follows:



Paynters Farm, Stonyfield, Woodfield, Wiggerwade, Corlands, Kitte, Pullroos
Field, Chipford, Arndells, Fangwells, Ceofield, Hedgerosee, Crowfield - Much
Bardfield, Rooding Youldings - Little Bardfield



Also the will is quite hard to decipher but fortunately another researcher
did transcribe a lot of it some time ago - but the later part of it - about
3 pages was not done and this part appears to be totally in latin with fancy
script titles like Probatum and In danomine Amen - is this normal and what
could this part be about??

PS there are many people mentioned in this will that are not immediate
family - I will post a list later in case it helps any one
