1433 Nicholas James wrote his will on April 24, and administration was granted on November 4, 1434, to John Perneys and Thomas Badby. [1] [2] Just above the probate section of the PCC record of the will, there is another date, perhaps 8 May 1432:
Indice responder' vol______ dat London octav_o die mensis maii Anno dni mill'mo cccc ^ tricestimoij
The probate section also mentions two years:
Probatum fuit present' testamentu' coram M. Johne Hindefelde commiss___ et c.
Anno dni mill'mo cccc supradicto ...
The 4 November 1434 date follows the statement about granting the administration.
