Narcissus Huson
« on: Friday 10 March 17 11:46 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me interpretate this reference I found to my ancestor Narcissus Huson of Fifehead Magdalen?  I believe it is from the parish chest records and it looks like it says he was made a constable.

Thanks
Matt

I thought perhaps:  Loukyer = Lockyer (in modern spelling)

Many thanks for that. I had managed to pick out the names and the word Constables so it's good to know the full context.

Many thanks again
