please advise what ....sep. means in a parish entry.

[BronwenS]

I expect everyone but me knows, what does sep. mean at the end of a parish register entry.

1652 May 4. Eduardus, f. Eduardi Roberts ... sep.

Much depends on the context.

Sep, buried
It could mean seven but here I suspect it means to close off.
Was it at the end of the register or even perhaps a burial register where a family tomb was now filled and sealed to future burials?
In a bishop's transcript it could even mean that there were seven entries since the last BT.

It is like the "f" in your transcript I assume it was really a long "s" the archaic letter or symbol used to denote the letter s or the double letters ss.

PS I really suspect it is short for sepulturae = buried

[Kay99]

Could it be short for "sepulta fuit"  - was buried

Thanks to both of you, I think Kay is on the button.
I have no idea what ....  nat. means either?

the other ones are
....  bap. (baptised)
.... nup. (I assume this means nuptial)

Ref reply #1, from Guy ...

Isn't the f. in the listing, short for filius (or whatever the LATIN word is, which I've forgotten), meaning 'son of'
i.e. Edward, son of Edward Roberts.

[Guy Etchells]

Yes thanks for pointing that out.
I forgot the text was in Latin I just remembered seeing an f in the transcript and assumed it was a long f.
Prove the point of viewing in context and not assuming anything.

Cheers

[BronwenS]

Many thanks Dawn and Guy I had noted the f and assumed it meant father of.
