Help with 1689 baptism name
« on: Thursday 02 January 20 13:00 GMT (UK) »
I am hoping that someone can decipher or translate the childs name from this 1689 Maltese baptism record, we believe that the family name is Sillato and that the parents are Marruzzio Sillato and wife Dominchella but even with the childs name appearing on the record twice I still cannot work it out - GedB

I've got some of it for you, but not all:

Anno D[omi]ni 1689, die vij mensis octobris, Ego .... Baptista
..... Vicarius perpetuus ... Baptizavi Infantem natum
eod[em] die ex Mauritio Sillato et Dominica coniugi .....
parrochianis ... fuit impositum nomen Gaspar. Parrinus
.................


Lines 1-2 - probably the name and position of the priest
Lines 3-4 - not sure about this - maybe a place? occupation?
Line 5 - the godparent(s)

The bits I have got indicate that this is Gaspar, born and baptised 7 Oct 1689, son of Mauritius (or Maltese equivalent) and Dominica Sillato.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Wow arthurk I barely had time for a cup of coffee and I must hold my hand up and say I would not have got that name in a month of Sundays, it is certainly a new one in the tree, thank you so much - GedB
