Below is the will of Alice Coles Freeman, mother-in-law to John Beauchamp. I have copied it verbatim with the exception of the pounds sign, I used # instead of the British pounds sign. The / used is in the transcript that I have in the DeBrett book, I would suppose it is used to represent shillings or pence.
