Thomas FENN of Hoxne [24996]

  General Notes:

Will of Thomas FENN of Hoxne 1557.
Whilst this is in English, the writing style is difficult to read , but I have managed to work out that he names his wife as Agnes, a son William, and several daughters: Jane, Anne and one other. However, the writing towards the end of the document gets smaller and more cramped so it is possible that other family members may be named.
