Title: Please can you help with maiden name c1620
Post by: emjsw on Tuesday 09 April 19 21:41 BST (UK)
Hello,

I am sorry to have asked for so much help recently but I am really struggling with the latinized parish register of Upper Heyford at the moment, the other registers in the area are in English, I have not idea why this one is in Latin.

The marriage is 3 Oct 1620 • Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, England between Stephen Cockin and Susanna x both of Upper Heyford. I can't make out any of the other text.

It could be Haynes or Heynes but I can find no relevant births for her. Stephen was baptised 3 Sep 1581 • Heyford Upper, Oxfordshire, England.

Many thanks for reading my post.

Best wishes,
Emma

Ah thank you, I will try looking for some births for Heymer, thank you. There are some Heymers in the area still!

It certainly looks like Heynes to me, but the initial letter is unclear. Do you have another H to compare?

Sorry, I've just noticed Heyford! Even more unsure now - how about Reynes or Keynes?

Thank you very much, I will run those alternatives through ancestry.

It is definitely one of Heynes or Heymes.

The line beneath is:

...a foresayed 3d* day of october...

The d of foresayed is running up into the H.  Subtract it, and the right vertical of the H is the same length as the left vertical.

The very long y is intact and can be compared with those in Heyford and day.

* I will take you at your word that it is 3d and not 30.

For the future, Emma, please don't scrawl on the images.  It can interfere with our ability to understand the letters.

It's enough to say - second word of the fourth line.

ADDED:

A couple of other phrases are:

...in Comitatu Oxo(n)... = in the County of Oxford  (second line)

...Solemnnavit matrimoniu(m)...  (third line)

Thank you for taking a look, verifying the surname and for the translation.
