The word you’re reading as ‘byes’ is uxor (= wife).

Anna [...] uxor Joh(ann)is
= Ann [...] wife of John

It looks like a burial record.

If you need help with the surname, please post another extract, not enlarged quite so much, and showing other lines on the page.

ADDED - found it at Bainton, East Yorkshire. Surname transcribed as Hodye (FindMyPast), but could be Hardye.

Thanks so much . Yes it's the Bainton Hardy's my ancestors .Last did a bit Latin when I was 11 years old many years ago so struggling through the Bainton  records . The script used is the most confusing .
