Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1 Word in Heraldic Description of a Crest - need help deciphering
« on: Thursday 15 May 25 17:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I have one word in an heraldic description of a crest on the coat of arms of Adam Darnell granted in 1566 that I have been unable to reconcile and am wondering if anyone may have the answer for me.

The crest is described in the grant as follows (with original spelling from 1566):

"I have given unto hym by waye of encrease for his creaste and Cognissaunce on a wreathe or  & azure a man of armes hedd the breste and face sharnue havynge on his lefte shoulder a polron thereon a scarfe gules mantelled gules doubled argent as more plainelie appearethe depicted in this margent..."

I have attached a screen shot of the text with the word "sharnue" or "sharnve" highlighted with yellow, and a screen shot of the crest.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Two cryptic words - 1800s French
« on: Saturday 03 May 25 18:39 BST (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I have tried running this image through AI and through Transkribus and neither was able to give me an answer.  Attached is an image of a margin entry at the bottom of the last page of a Notarial Act.  I have the top line but can't make any sense out of the lower line.  Can anyone help, please?

The top line is
troisième et dernier.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1786 French Sales Document - need help deciphering a few words
« on: Friday 28 March 25 00:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I've attached a snippet of a sales document  and have highlighted the words I'm having difficulty reading.  The location is Saint-Loup in the Charente-Maritime department and Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.  The property being sold is located in Ribaudiere, some miles northeast of St. Loup.
 Ribaudiere is very close to what looks to be a farm property called "Imp. de Rompis".  But I cannot find a Rompis Re?.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Essex Lookup Requests / Fryerning Lookup - 1610 to 1615
« on: Monday 23 December 24 23:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Rootschatters,

I am attempting to find validation for a reference in the Essex Record Office  T/Z 76/1 as to why one Richard Warren of Fryerning was pegged as one who left England on the Mayflower in 1620.  Link to the record is https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/result_details.aspx?ThisRecordsOffSet=2&id=196004.

I have written to the Essex Record Office and received back an answer that reads,

Quote
I have looked at this document and Hilda Grieve does not give her reasoning or sources for why she believes that this Richard Warren is the same one who travelled on the Mayflower.

The document is a list of entries from the Archdeaconry of Essex ‘Minutes of proceedings in actions brought by ecclesiastical authorities’ (series ref: D/AEA) for each person.

I have the images from the Archdeaconry Minutes (D/AEA 15 through 27) which amount to 184 images and I have read them all and can find absolutely no indication that Richard Warren of Fryerning was the same Richard Warren who sailed on the Plymouth.

Between 1591 and 1613 Richard Warren of Fryerning is brought up before the courts in Badow Magna, Ingatestone and Brentwood but apparently no similar appearances before the court at Fryerning.

As I'm in Canada, I'm not able to go to the Essex Record Office to look at the parish register of Fryerning so I am wondering if a lookup in that register is possible.  If so, what I'm looking for is any indication of children being baptised for a Richard Warren and wife Elizabeth in 1610 through 1615.  The known children are born in this order:

Mary ca 1610
Ann  ca 1611/2
Sarah ca 1613
Elizabeth ca 1615.

Abigail was born about 1619.

Unfortunately, with the commonality of the names of the parents and the children many claims have been made as to where these children were baptised.  I am just trying to determine if there was any substance for Miss Grieve's investigation into Richard Warren of Fryerning.

Thank you for any assistance.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1655 Italian Letter-need help deciphering a few words
« on: Saturday 30 November 24 23:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Rootschatters,

I'm working on a short letter, written in Florence, Italy just after the election of Cardinal Chigi as Pope in 1655.  There are a few abbreviations that I am not familiar with and a few other phrases that I am having trouble reading.  So, I would greatly appreciate any help in deciphering the Italian.  I can do the translation after that.

I am attaching 2 images that have the questionable parts highlighted in yellow.  In the second image there are 7 highlighted portions.

Thank you.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with two words in Scots Testament 1674
« on: Friday 04 October 24 00:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello Rootschatters,

I need some assistance in deciphering two words in a Scottish Testament Testamentar, please.

I've attached a short snippet and have highlighted the two words in yellow.  The first one, I think, is an abbreviation and the second one I can't decide if it has been crossed out or overwritten.  Either way I can't seem to decipher it.

All assistance is greatly appreciated.
