Spitalfields French baptism 1659

[pinefamily]

Hello again Rootschatters,
I have a baptism from 1659 in Spitalfields, where I can't make out the name of the child baptised. What it has been transcribed as doesn't look like the original entry to me.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks in advance.

Just a wild guess:

We.... something
or
Me....something

Anne
 

 Maybe showing a couple of neighbouring entries might help us get a feel for the writing?
It's always the one you want to see that's blurred and scrawled isn't it?

I thought that was just me, Ruskie; always the blurred image, or the register missing the year I want.
I didn't want to say before, not wanting to influence people, but it is transcribed as Marie. It does look a lot like the Marie elsewhere on the same page, but there is what looks like Anne as well.

[Ruskie]

Anne as a middle name? It is written very close beneath "Marie". Or a hyphenated Marie-Anne?

If t looks like the other Marie's on the page, that is probably it. Is there any way you can check this? Will of the father perhaps, which may mention his children?

I can't see the name of the child only others concerned Jaques, Anne, Philippe, Marie .

. . . I am guessing the daughter's name starts with M.

Sorry     Not very helpful.     

Wiggy.

Thanks for looking, Wiggy. And I tend to agree with you on the possible middle/hyphenated name of Anne, Ruskie. Although, if it is the ancestor I am looking for, she was only Marie at marriage. I haven't come across a will for Jacques yet. I may have to trawl through the baptisms page by page; I found another one that way recently.

My ggggrandfather came from Spitalfields -and a French Huguenot family of weavers - looks like yours are French also!    .  Silly thing to say as that's what your heading says.

No Le Sedt, Snellart/Sneller, or Le Houck Wiggy?

Looks to me as if Jacques written in error, then the 'Ja' overwritten with 'M' and 'arie' or 'anne' beneath the rest of Jacques, which has not been crossed through.
