Just in case Trixie is trying to continue the conversation, I'm still receiving messages on this thread!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Margin note on PR burial

thank you, two good suggestions. The consensus is confirming that the comment in the margin is not material to the information about the child baptised.

That helps a lot,

Thank you

No problem, just being cautious with screen clips :)

In case the link doesn't work, it's on Ancestry and only needs:

James Moorley, born 1798, died Derbyshire, 1823, to find it. (Aston on Trent).

Fortunately he is one of a kind, not one of many, especially with the unusual spelling of his name (which every site wants to autocorrect).

He died on 5th June 1823, age 25.

Thank you, both,

I tend to agree. It is a strange page, because it looks like two different people were copying the records from, presumably an original, but on the double page spread, only this one, the third copied by the same clerk (from the handwriting) has this word in the margin. Maybe a clue is that the first two were services performed by the Rector and the third was by the Curate - perhaps he kept his own records! Who knows!

The answer must be what you suggest.

Thank you!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Margin note on PR burial

Hi,

Please can you help with this margin note? It is a parish record of a burial in Derbyshire, the man was 25 when he died, local to the area, and I can't find a word online to match this!

Thank you for the explanation of the old registers, that's very helpful. As to the maiden names, marriages, et al, of course I agree with you on all that, and I like the examples that you have quoted. I think the Scottish ways regarding mother's maiden name were much better! Also, at certain times, they kept brilliant records with a degree of detail that is never (or rarely) seen elsewhere :)

Hi,

I'm actually descended from John Braidwood 1817, son of John Braidwood and Jean Millar, who lived in Liverpool, UK - there was a lot of confusion in the early days before it was possible for me to get the certificates that I needed, but I'll PM you, and I'll update this post for the benefit of other researchers later.

Hi everyone,

I started looking for the Braidwoods about 2005 ish, my direct ancestor is John Braidwood who married Jean Millar. This week I thought I would revisit them and update all my records.

So I'm just checking in at the moment to say that this is a lovely thread and I'm happy to hear from anyone who might be related to me :)

That's great - thanks! My local Manchester Central Library should have them, I think :)

Thank you for your reply
