Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with deciphering an occupation

« on: Friday 03 May 24 03:21 BST (UK) »

I have attached 2 snippets from 2 sources showing the same information. One is from the Manchester, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1930 (Cathedral) records, and the other is from the Lancashire, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1936 records.
We can make out an occupation for Bryan Rooney that looks like ??ustian Cutter in both sources.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with Irish Marriage record - Michael Cannon and Mary Fergus- Feb 1870

« on: Friday 06 September 19 08:38 BST (UK) »

We have been able to decipher the following:
It looks like Marriage at 26th at Derna Cuilla.
Michael Cannon of Party to Mary Fergus TT Darby Cannon & Bt Fergus

I assume the TT stands for fathers and I don't know what Bt would be short for if this is the shortened Christian name for Mary Fergus.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help Deciphering a Scottish Parish Marriage Record

« on: Sunday 28 April 19 05:53 BST (UK) »

Hi All
This is a 1742 marriage record. Our attempt at deciphering the text is:

May 15 James Ingles and Catharin Greig in this Parish contracted the man consigned six pound and after two proclamations they vows married Inno 12 Jun (

)

Does this seem like a reasonable translation? We have no idea what follow2s after "12 Jun"

Thanks Ian and Yvonne

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Difficulty interpreting what we're reading in a Latin marriage entry

« on: Saturday 27 October 18 10:43 BST (UK) »

Most of the text is easy to read and comprehend, but I'm having difficulty interpreting the words in parentheses.
The first is at the end of the section "in Matrimonium conjunxi Bryan Rooney (Bernardam)"

The second is at the end of the section "filium Bryan Rooney (Berndardi)"

I don't know if I am transcribing them correctly, and if I am then I don't understand what they mean.
Any help gratefully accepted.
