This is an explanation of terms found in Derbyshire probate inventories from the 16th and 17th centuries, containing some 1,500 terms likely to be of general interest. Many of the words were used throughout England at that period, but are now obsolete or spelt differently. For example, a cousin is a kinsman, sometimes also used for a nephew, niece, or even a great friend.
