Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Place name near Altrincham/Hale/Manchester
« on: Friday 20 October 17 22:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello, please see the attached. It looks like Oauley Hey or Oavley Hey to me? This is a baptism in Altrincham, Manchester. The resident parish is Northenden, so I am assuming it is in this vicinity.

Thank you so much for any help. I've been staring at it for so long the letters no longer make any sense at all!

I think it does read repeated. However, I can't find any other children of Elizabeth prior to Mary in this parish, so I think it may be an error and supposed to be reputed.

I've found the 'r' word a few years earlier (albeit with different people) and it looks like repeated here to me!

Sorry for the million separate messages.. but I think I'll have to browse through the records in the couple of years leading up to Mary's birth and see if I can spot any other 'bastard' kids that might have earned her a 'repeated' label! Can't see anything else when searching.

I can see that Elizabeth later married a Jeremiah Jarratt and had a son of the same name with him, who died at aged 8. Her 'bastard' daughter Mary had a son with John Oulman who she called Jeremiah Jarratt Oulman, which makes me happy to think that she liked her step father! Daft I know! But I can just imagine the scorn heaped on the family at the time.

Meant to say it's the second entry down - John bastard child of Elizabeth Wallas

I have found this 9 years later! Sadly no mention of the father
