Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with decoding 1673 Lincolnshire marriage records
« on: Tuesday 17 April 18 11:33 BST (UK) »
I've included a set of marriage records on a page from a 1673 Lincolnshire parish and there are 3 words that I just cannot decode. In the attached image, I've added in blue the transcription for the record that I'm interested, but have left other entries in so that you can see how I arrived at the transcription (note that "c", "e", "d", "a", "r", "l" and "s" are very tricky ).
There is a repeating phrase used in the 1673 records here that I can't translate and they are underlined in red and green. Note that this repeating phrase is followed by a date earlier than the marriage itself. The first word seems to be "Licenc" and the second "concell". The third work (in green) I cannot tell: "?nr" perhaps. In the record that I'm interested in, there is a fourth work which looks like "?ar". Any help would be great here. The issue here is that English has yet to be standardized via a dictionary and so I'm trying to guess these words by phonetics.
