Notes.
1. The writing on the microfilmed  document is small and faded. The top right hand         
     corner is torn away.
2. No year date is legible in the will but it is listed in the MM catalogue as 1613.  It is noted that the 
following will (F Robart) on the same page is dated 18th. March 1611.                
Yet John  Brydson on the next page (qv) says he died in November 1613 and the will ofJohn Bridsone on 
page 117 (qv) records his death as January 1613 (NS 1614).  
     1613 seems likely for this Jayne's will.
