Baptism of Jane Yates, Prescot, 1750
« on: Thursday 05 November 15 17:01 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone suggest what the word before 'in ye Colepitts' might be?

"Jane ye daughter of William Yates _____ in ye Colepitts & Rachell his wife was born ye 2nd of September & christened [19 October 1750]..."

The register is from St Mary's Prescot, Lancashire and is on Ancestry.  William and Rachell had several other children baptised at St Mary's; William's occupation either labourer or collier. I can see one word but find it unlikely, so would appreciate second thoughts


Thanks

Looking at the word christened on the line below it starts and ends with the same letters, and the third letter looks like the m in September, so my guess is Come?d, I'm not sure what the squiggle between the e and d is meant to be, looks like another m but that wouldn't make sense.

Hi

" CORVERS " is on old mining occupation, but I can't make that fit either  :)

I think the squiggle might indicate an abbreviation at the end of the word.

You are all more sensible than me - I thought it said 'conceiv'd in ye colepitt'
They couldn't have - could they?

'concern'd' is a possibility

Thank you all for looking

It ends in the same way as "christen'd", the last word on the page, so ends "...ed".

Sorry for late feedback on this topic; it took a long time to finish the transcription (this is for Lancs OPC)
I think 'concern'd' is the one I like best, so have sent that suggestion on to QC to see what they make of it.

Thanks again, I'll post an update when it goes online
