Jan,
?
Don't know how important this is to you but I put my abacus to work and found the
following:
?
Widow's part was 7 lbs., 4 shillings, 3 3/4 pence.?
Each child's part was 1 lb, 6 shillings, 2 3/4 pence.? 14 lbs. were left after the
widow's part, and indicates there were 14 children living.?
?
I did the conversion and what each child got works out to exactly 10 children, not 14.
