Title: Latin Word?
Post by: rebeccaclaire86 on Wednesday 17 October 18 14:17 BST (UK)
Sorry for another post, but I was hoping I could ask for a second opinion on something else?  I have a probate abstract concerning one of my ancestors - I am fine with everything up until the word after John Newton, my best guess is jucriow?!  I suspect whatever it actually says is potentially in Latin as there is 'ibm agricola' (I know this means farmer of the same place) after the first two men named.  I'm hoping it might clarify whether he was a son / stepson / something else.  I did wonder if it might be 'junior' but that doesn't really make sense or look entirely right to me.

Any ideas welcome - thanks again for any help, I really appreciate it!

Looks like 'Junior' to me, though with a mistake at the end which has been overwritten.

Yes, I thought 'Junior' - maybe Hugh snr was the father of a John Newton whose mother was the wife of John Newton snr?

A vote for 'Junior'.
