Solicitors Articled Clerk

 

Oh yes, thanks Sue, I didn't even think of that.

 

The only thing clear was the A at the start and the d at the end. Everything else was just a blur.

 

You do well with blurs lass, I think it was scrawled hurriedly which may explain the lettering. I've just begun on this family due to his marriage to my 1cx4r'd.
Will help fill out the family file I actually was able to read her Father's will enough to be sure of siblings.

sorry I had to decamp quickly earlier,- it happens here.
