16th century document - names please
« on: Tuesday 29 July 14 12:54 BST (UK) »
Hi again,

Best guesses of the names of the couple underneath the blob, please.

I can read: The third of August --   Danson and Margery -- were married.

Maybe I just can't see it at the moment but I can't think of any male names that would fit.  ???

Your opinions much valued

PS: I figured it out Sarah!!

Thanks Steve,

The 'r's in Morris & Wornings seem to be different from the others in the entry, don't you think?

Got to say Morris is closer to a name than I got!!

I think it says Monngie Danson and Margery Monninges. I'm not sure what the groom's forename is supposed to be.

Hi Alexander,

Monngie is what I came up with but who knows what that would mean.

Just a thought - had it been the case for the man to take the womans' surname, would that have made him Monngie Monninges :)

Still Margery Monninges wasn't much better!!
