Notes |
Related to other Privy Council appeals: Waldo v Waldo – Report No.05_1734_01 (APC, v.3 [295] p.405) Waldo v Waldoe – Report No. 05_1734_04 (APC, v.3 [321] p.430–431) Waldo v Fairweather, Waldo v Waldo, and Waldo v Tyng – Report No. 05_1734_06 (APC, v.3 [325] p.450) For clarity in dealing with multiple Waldo (Waldoe) cases, listed here are the immediate family members, without regard to whether they appear in this report: Jonathan Waldo is the deceased father of the Waldo siblings: Samuel (eldest son), Jonathan, Hannah, and Ann (Anne, Anna). Hannah is the wife of Thomas Fairweather (Fayrweather), who dies during the proceedings. Ann is the wife of Edward Tyng (Ting). Samuel and Jonathan Waldo, Ann Tyng, and Thomas Fairweather are the executors for Jonathan Waldo. Upon Thomas Fairweather’s death, Hannah, his widow, and his uncle, John Fairweather, become his executors. Upon the death of Thomas Fairweather, the two appeals are revived against the executors, Hannah and John Fairweather, according to the APC. |
