Can anyone read latin?
« on: Monday 05 May 14 23:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help me with my GGrandmothers baptism record? For some reason there is some writing in latin on the register (it's a catholic baptism) The first part is crossed out but the second seems to refer to her marriage to George Douglas in 1916, what really interests me is the crossed out part as the wording is the same as the second and if it is then it refers to a marriage noone knew about and may point towards my grandfathers unknown father (it is dated Feb 1911 & he was born in Jul). None of the other entries on the page have notations like this so it is a bit of a mystery as to why it's there.

All help is much appreciated.

Ange

Further to the above, I think the marriage details in the baptism register were probably deleted because they were entered in error, against the wrong Mary Brown.

If you can access the image of the full 1911 census for John and Mary BLACKHURST in Liverpool, you'll see why. RG14/22202 Schedule 96.

Thanks Book, I think you are right & it was just written next to the wrong Mary....I was getting all excited then for a minute. It is a bit strange that the marriage I have for Mary and John Douglas happens at St Nicholas church on 31st Jan 1916, I will have to go & see if they had a second RC service.

Thanks again ;D
