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.
Ian and Yvonne

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Completed - Help with Birthplace name in 1851 England Census

Great answers.
I had continued to research, and was leaning heavily towards Widdrington, until I saw the Whittingham responses.
softly softly is off course correct. I was working on Margaret Allison, and Whittingham makes the most sense.

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.
Regards Ian Thwaites
Sorry about mthe .png file, wee've now attached a .jpg clip

Thanks in advance

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 / Re: Difficulty interpreting what we're reading in a Latin marriage entry
« on: Saturday 27 October 18 11:04 BST (UK) »
Thanks Dublin 1850
My problem is with the words in brackets, which I now accept as being Bernardus and Bernardi.
As I understand it, the Latin equivalent for Bryan would be Briannus or Bryannus.
In my family tree I have two brothers, Bryan and Bernard born a few years apart. I am now starting to think they may be one and the same person sometimes called Bernard and other times being recorded as Bryan.
Anyone seen anything like this before?
