Hi Maddy.

Just had a look. What fantastic information! Reiterates to me just how amazing this site is and how incredibly knowledgeable and helpful contributors are.

Last year I asked a similar question, and received detailed replies.

And I'm sure I recall a number of threads that we discussed it on over the years on here

Indeed.    Good to have reminder every so often though, and also a reminder to use the "search" function (myself especially!)

Yep.

What is fairly clear, from the link that I put up in Reply #5 and Peter's find,  is that various abbreviations were used differently depending on the parish. In the case of 'P', it seems that it could refer to Parish, Pauper or Poor.
