| DACKOMBE Will of William of St Giles in the Fields (17th July 1684) |
This will is relatively easy to read and is quite interesting. William was the son of Nicholas and Melior Dackombe and did not marry. His Will leaves numerous sums of money to lots of people but no relations as far as I can tell are mentioned.
