« on: Thursday 17 January 19 09:17 GMT (UK) »
I would be very grateful for a transcription of the baptism of Anna (?) on the middle line here.

Thanks shume. My Latin isn’t very good but I think the bit you are seeing as “Beaufort” is actually the abbreviated Latin phrase for “was baptised” (maybe “Baptista fuit” from a Google) because it is also there in the previous entry and occurs commonly in registers when they were in Latin.

I'd agree Dave.
It's 'bapt fuit' - was baptised.

The christian name of Anna's father is the query I'm guessing.

It looks like 'Araham'. The first letter is the same as 'A' on Anna.

Is there  another word on the page with that classic long looped small letter 'h'?
'Humphrey' in the line above only has a capital H.

I think it is Araham, possibly a misspelling of Abraham

Thanks goldie61, here is a bit more, which has a lower case “h”. I think that Anna’s father could be Abraham Lea, who had other children baptised here in 1628 and 1632, but I don’t want to invent my evidence. (The website transcription has it as Abraham but hasn’t hazarded a guess on the surname).

I'm pretty comfortable that goldie and Old Bristolian have the first name right.

The surname is probably Leae, after subtracting interference from the name above.

The last part:   ...9o die novembris

That is:  nono die = on the ninth day

Many thanks for the replies. And yet another variation on the name Lea, it seems ::)
Still, I find the documents from this period much more appealing than more recent, printed information.
