Essentially this is recording that William carpentarius has granted to God
and the canons of the chirch of St Peter of Thurg' with the consent of his
heirs Henry Biseth his son and Manasser Biset his brother and Ernulph Biset
his "nepos" the mill of Clyva for ever for the health of his soul, of his
heirs and of all his relatives and for the souls of his father William Biset
and his mother Hawise and his wife Susan and for the soul of his brother
Henry Biset and Ausoldus Biset his brother and Henry his "nepos" and all his
predecessors. It adds at the end that he is to be buried in that church
wherever he dies in England.

I think normally the names following "pro anima" would be assumed to be
dead, but I believe there's the odd example where this has not been the case
(or has been argued not to be the case).
