Watlington 1640 - COMPLETED

[grantleydawn]

Can anyone please help me with the word Corarij or Corary that appears in the following baptism.

As per the Parish Registers of Watlington, Oxfordshire ;
“. . . . vicesimo primo die
ffebruarij 1640
Susanna filia Simo’is Bartlett
Corarij Bap: eodem die eodem per anno 1640”

As per The Record Interpreter (1892), Cor^ar is an abbreviation of corporaltier [latin for Carnally or Corporally], which I guess is saying that Susanna was the illegitimate daughter of Simon.

I am researching Susanna [the logical daughter of Simon BARTLETT], who married Richard BUTLER on the 27th Jun 1658 at Britwell Salome.

The word could be the occupation 'corarii'  or currier (processing tanned hides) a variation of corarius.

Thank you Tony. I must admit that I did not concentrate on occupations. The Register is from 1635 to 1653 and it would seem that no other entry has an occupation. That led me to look for another meaning of this word.


End result is, that I have no idea on the reality.

At least I now have a choice. Thank you.

I agree with Tony. The word is in the masculine singular genitive and qualifies the father, not the daughter, so currier.

The wording at the end is eodem die eodemq(ue) anno = on the same day and in the same year.

[grantleydawn]

I am good with that.

Thank you to both of you.

And thank you for the correction of eodemq(ue).

In support of the word being the occupation of currier, I have found that in his son was recorded as a fellmonger.
