Help Needed with Marriage Please - 1627 Birstall Yorkshire

[Rochdalian]

I need help please deciphering some words on the marriage entry, forth line down on the attachment.
The transcription gave me 'John Blackburne & Beatrice Lamason 1 July 1627'.
My concerns are the brides surname which does not look like Lamason more like Lauraston and also the word after her surname, which may be a place name?

Cheers & Stay Safe

It's a good thing you asked:

...& Beatrice Lancaster the seventeenth day [ie of July]

Absolutely agree with Horselydown.

Bob -- it's a long 'S' in Lancaster. Also, if you look at the other entries - they all end with the handwritten date.

(As an aside - what a coincidence that you have 2 people with surnames from place names in the County of Lancashire - marrying at Birstall in Yorkshire!

Maybe originally ----way back in 13c both families heralded from those settlements - thereby being given their names).

Thanks Horselydown and Pennines.  Amazing what you can see once it's pointed out.

Good point you make there Pennines about their names, very interesting. 

Cheers & Stay Safe

Bob - funnily enough I also have a Blackburn line in West Yorkshire (Mirfield) - I found that it was sometimes spelt Blegburne or Blagburn - although you have already got a long way back with yours so that might not affect you.

It was the way it was often pronounced - even in my living memory!!

Yes, my Blackburn ancestors seem to be around Mirfield/Wakefield/Birstall/Batley area.  Can't say I've come across those other spellings just sometimes having an 'e' on the end.
My 6xgreat grandfather Samuel Blackburn (b 1683) was a clothier of Hopton which I believe is part of Mirfield.  His daughter Martha married William Pearson and that's were I come in.

The magic name PEARSON, is also in my tree and yes so is Birstall where Mary Pearson baptised there married Eli Collins there in 1768 and that is where I come in.

Oh wow - yes Hopton and Birstall feature a lot in the events of my West Yorkshire ancestors.

Perhaps all of our ancestors knew one another!!

Pretty sure that a lot must have known each other and I see from your signature that you have Townend in your family from the area as I do with Emily Townend born c 1864.

My Wife and I have ancestors who must have attended the same Chapel in Great Horton and we even share a DNA match with another person.
