Observations:
The handwriting of this will is illiterate and the spelling idiosyncratic especially of the names, a difficult document to read. Documents include a bond, which is interesting in that it sites Peter Antony as living in Clydoge, county Hereford but the deceased as late of Clodock, county Radnor, also 2 coversheets; 5 sheets in all.
