It's definitely procurement. I'm assuming Grandad got grandson by the scruff of his neck and made him own up to his dastardley deed ;D

The Common Room / What exactly does this baptism entry mean?
« on: Wednesday 27 March 24 15:28 GMT (UK)  »
I have a baptism for a child called Elionor on the 4 January 1648/49 in Chelmarsh, Shropshire. The image is on FindMyPast at:

The entry reads:

Elionor reputed bastard of James Dovie and Margery Lawrence, by procurement of Frauncis Dovie, the reputed grandfather

What does "by procurement of Frauncis Dovie ..." mean?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Thomas Dovey, burial?

Can't quite make out all of this, but I think it's a burial. The transcription just has 1610 Aug. 18 Thomas Dovy sep. "sep" I assume is short for sepultra/sepultrae.

This is the first time I've come across the use of spinster on a burial, which was the cause of my confusion, athough I fully understand the way it was probably used to differentiate between others in the parish with the same name. There are quite a number of Geggs/Gegges in the parish I'm looking at, Areley Kings in Worcestershire. To make matters worse, there is quite a restricted set of forenames too, which makes re-constructing families a tad difficult, and the leaving out of the mother's name on baptisms only adds to the difficulties.

Thanks once more for all the help, it is very much appreciated.

Thanks, Bookbox. I had thought it was spinser after the surname, but I'm puzzled as to what it means. Could it be spinster? But if so, why?

I've been looking further at the family of Thomas Gegge, and found this burial of his daughter Margaret, but I can't quite make out all of the entry ...

Thanks again. I had looked at the preceding entry, but hadn't spotted the fact that the marriage was to Als (Alice?) Longmore. She hasn't cropped up in my research so far as I've only just started to take a look at this branch since the images have come online, but I will now take a closer look. As for Longmure vs Longmore? I suspect that the now conventional version is Longmore, but at that time it could possibly be spelled in many different ways.

Possibly brother and sister marrying sister and brother?
