Latin text in parish registers - need advice

[clairec666]

Hi fellow rootschatters!

I'm transcribing parish registers for Essex, currently working on the late 1700s. The registers are in English, but with the occasional bit of Latin. I've seen the words "Eodem Tempore" and "Eodem Die", and with some quick googling I gather they both mean "the same day" or similar. But before I jumped straight in with transcribing I wanted to check with some knowledgeable people.

Clip attached - I assume I would transcribe them as Oct 12th and March 25th, as per the records above?

Thanks!

Eodem die - the same day. Eodem tempore - (at) the same time

Who are you transcribing the registers for - your own use, a Family History Society or a company?

I transcribe for FreeBMD and we are told to "transcribe what you see".  However you may have received different instructions (or none at all).

I'm transcribing for FreeREG. The basic advice is "transcribe what you see". You can't put words in the "date" column, so if I see something like "ditto" which has an obvious meaning I enter the same date as the record above. I'm pretty sure I should do the same for Latin words, I just need some reassurance on their exact meaning.

FreeREG has some good help pages (e.g. https://www.freereg.org.uk/cms/information-for-transcribers/numbers-and-dates for how to deal with numbers and dates) but doesn't mention the exact words I've come across.

This is an example of a case where slavish adherence to the "transcribe what you see" principle would give unhelpful results.  Context matters, but we don't always get to see the context.

It seems to be covered in freereg entering data from registers guidance, maybe treat the date as illegible and add a note in the notes field, if the year can be deduced with certainty then enter the year,  but it also suggests that good guesses maybe acceptable

Thanks for the advice. Thankfully the year is very clear on these records!
