Might be too obvious but I think it simply says "seven year"

Hi Jane

I can't work it out - I think it starts with S. I first thought it could be Servant's daughter but the words are split  :-\

Here for others:

Neither do I really but I can't see it being "servant" as that appears 2 lines above and looks different.  As gadget says, it looks like two words.

Having said that, I've never seen age being hand written in that column before, totally superfluous info given the age column.

 :-\ :-\

Dave

PS, sorry Gadget, I added image at same time as you were posting (no red warning?)

Strange you should say that Gadget because her correct name is Elizabeth Servier..the 2 children below her are her brother and sister...Their parents according to the 61 are Elizabeth and John Servier.

Second word looks "Esqr" to me.  Could it be Levier Esqr's daughter?  Whoever Levier might be......
