Richardi Goldi

[splottboy1]

Hi, I have come across this record in my Peckham family Tree research, for Richardi Golde in the Somerset, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, 1531-1812.
Its the baptism of Ursula Golde his daughter.
Its a 50 page book, and it seems to be in Italian, with some Dutch people as well.
I am wondering what is it all about.
Is it a record of baptisms on a ship that may have come from Italy.
Its very interesting so I hope someone can help.

I don't have a worldwide sub. for Ancestry so can't comment except to say could it be the Parish Register in Latin? as the place is High Ham Somerset.
OK I've got it now & as suggested it's Latin.

Latin, as said above.

Filia is Latin for daughter.

Thanks Jim, for your reply.
Its just that most of the names in the  book seem to be Italian, so its a mystery to me ??
Hope someone can help.

You may find that the names have been converted to Latin (which did happen in Protestant as well as Catholic churches).  For instance:
Ricardi - of Richard
Henricus - Henry
Georgius - George
Maria - Mary
Elsbet - Elizabeth

and so on.

Hope this helps.

The names are written in Latin, which might appear to be Italian, but it specifies on the first page that it is from 1569 to 1653 and Ancestry states again that it is for High Ham in Somerset between those dates.

Thanks everyone.
Thats interesting in early 1600's that Protestant baptisms could have converted their names to Latin in the these times. All my family from this time were Church of England until the late 1850's, and then with the influx and inter marrying of the poor Irish who came to Wales, our family all became Catholic.
I was wondering if anybody can help me find out exactly which parish in Ham this registration would have taken place ?
There must have been a South Ham and a North Ham I suppose.
Finding out where they lived would be great information for me, so I hope someone might be able to put some light on this ??

Thanks Philip,
Good information.
To have an Italian connection in our family would make it interesting, but perhaps its not the case. I was thinking that an Italian ship perhaps sunk and its passengers and crew might have been the people recorded in Ham records. It would be interesting to see if the Ham records are anywhere near Ringwood [South HAMton], as the family lived in Ringwood for 200years.
Thanks again everybody .
Colin
