Well thank you Bookbox, Thumbelina and MonicaL for your kind words!  :-[

Sometimes you can just 'see it'.
I have done quite a lot for my family - some of them ten times worse than this - almost totally incomprehensible!
I enjoy the challenge.  :)

Is this a year of some kind or what?  The  Jajvijle  completely baffles me!

Is it perhaps a capital C at the end, rather than le ?

jaj = 1000
vijC = 700
So ... jajvijC and fifty seven = 1757

For further explanation, see here ...

Oh I see, thank you for that Bookbox.

The handwriting is a little difficult to decipher in places.  C would certainly make more sense than le.

Is it coincidence that a similar query has also come up here, to which I've also replied?

So it has!  So why didn't the poster put the query on here?  Surely no need to start a 'new' topic on the same subject.

Perhaps because it was a specific query regarding one record rather than all the ones on this one?

I posted it as 'new'  as it is a generic question, not specific to the one sasine Goldie had been kind enough to transcribe for me.

I fear I have committed a forum faux pas!
