Dechiphering a burial entry
« on: Wednesday 24 June 20 14:49 BST (UK) »
Hello,

There is a word after the name of my GGGGG Grandmothers burial record that I cannot dechiper, so help needed.  She was Alice Porter and was buried on June 12th at St Botolphs, Boston, but I have no idea what the word is?  Her husband John Porter died in 1775 and was a victualler if that's any help.
