Ickenham death/ Joseph Watts
« on: Wednesday 26 September 18 20:41 BST (UK) »
A transcription has the following:
Burial Joseph Watts mother Mary Horman 7 December1794.

Could someone look at the original and tell me the details, could Horman be Norman?
If and age at the time of death is given or an indication such as child or infant.

Joseph Watts illegitimate son of Mary Norman buried 7th Dec 1794. Then under that what looks like Afft Jane Wheeler. All of them on that page have Afft ( or could be Asst) then a name.

I think it's Norman as on the other page is Hayes and the H doesn't have a curl!

Afft is short for affidavit, see below

That’s interesting, I knew about the burial in wool, but didn’t realise that’s what the Afft meant. Thanks.
