Title: What does M.O.S. or M.O.E.S mean on a marriage record?
Post by: nannyj on Sunday 24 September 17 18:36 BST (UK)

I'm looking at Henry Pratt marrying Sarah Sheppard 3 June 1736 st dunstan and all saints, stepney, tower hamlets.
After Henry's name is says M.O.S. and after Sarah's it says of same parish. On others it says M.O.E.S.
Just wondered what it stood for?

Do you mean MEOT - Mile End Old Town?

Looking at the register, the abbreviations read M.O.T. and M.E.O.T., for Mile-end Old Town and Mile End Old Town. In this register you will also find M.N.T., for Mile-end New Town.
