First part is in Latin again. I can see Frances Farr of Flitwick, Bedford and Thomas Baker, Edward Farey, and George Reynolds.
Frances Farey is the widow of Edmund Farey, late of Flitwick.
An Elizabeth Farey is mentioned but I think the scribe may have made a mistake because he is talking about the wife of Edmund and inserts,” Elizabeth Farey, aforesaid.” There is no mention of an Elizabeth before this one.
