Henry Roulston of Stanton by Bridge died without making a Will; Administration was granted to his widow Alice.

Words in square brackets [ ] are my best effort at deciphering words which were particularly difficult to read.

Henry is described here as day labourer but he was also known to be an innkeeper at his farmhouse. He had also held the unpaid role of Overseer of the Poor.
