This is an 1864 probate summary excerpt, and I’m having trouble figuring out the last line (in brackets). It seems to say:
wit to be dead, mew if he has left noew heirs the celebrity maw ilcke to
I’m not a native speaker, so have to rely on Google Translate: "It’s funny to be dead, but if he left behind any heirs, the celebrity would be happy to." That doesn’t make sense to me. Anyone willing to lend a quick hand and figure out what it means? source: https://media.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/39948/19854
