3rd day of March? Not sure on the other word.

Thank you... that does match up with one of the transcripts. As you can guess my latin is next to zilch!  :-X
Thanks again

...Coniuncti tertio die Martij on Shrovetwesdaye...

The third day of March (as has been said), which was Shrove Tuesday.

Coniuncti = united or married

Well done, Horsleydown86. I couldn't make out Shrove Tuesday.
My Latin is a bit rusty, but if I couldn't read that image, I'm sure I would have been haunted by the ghost of my Latin teacher, lol.
