What comes after Elizabetha?
« on: Friday 01 December 17 22:59 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone please help decipher what comes after the mother's name on this baptism for 2 Sept 1686 at St Edward's in Leek (the middle line)? I'm also guessing that the baptism is for a boy whose name starts with a T.

Thanks

It is in Latin I am pretty sure.
 
Can't go further than that except to say that the first word in that line is

filius (= a son) Thomas ?? e(and) Elizabeth uxoris (wife)  ?(same as line above) .? . ?. . bapt(isted) ?8 Sept

(As you say, the child's first name hasn't been written in.)

Thanks goodness for you, Bookbox!!   :D ;)   

I wondered about the 2nd but then the baptism before was the 3rd and the one after the 11th  . . . so,  thinking about the way they wrote 8 sideways, I wondered.   :)

it was fun trying!

You came pretty close, Wiggy :)
I think the figure is perhaps too ‘open’ to be a sideways 8, and the superscript d rather suggests 2(n)d. Entries in parish registers aren’t always in strict chronological order, especially at these early dates.
