Abbreviations in Manor Court record 1774

[Ili1133]

I’d really like some help with the abbreviations in the second of the notes circled in the margin of this Manorial Court Record dated 1774:

Note 1: Chr[istopher] West adm[itted] 19 Oct 1774

Note 2: Copy made [?...?] to Shilo Parson Jun[ior?] (do you read this abbreviation the same way?)



I’ve left the main text in as I have a couple of questions related to the context, but they will depend on the missing abbreviation in Note 2.

Thanks

Note 2: Copy made [?...?] to Shilo Parson Jun[ior?] (do you read this abbreviation the same way?)

I agree with Jun(ior).

I think the first abbreviation is dd, with an extravagant flourish to finish, but I'm not sure.

Do you have a sense of what this note might mean?

I have seen this abbreviation dd used on letter-covers at this period, to indicate 'delivered'. Maybe that is the meaning here too?

Thank you both, I think you have found the answer for me. It’s a great help.

 In the mean time I had gone back through the following few years of these records and found ‘copy … del’ and ‘copy … del’d’ used, sometimes with the old ‘and’ symbol (and I wonder if the first letter/symbol might be that) - but nothing as abbreviated as this! I assume it was similar to modern-day recorded delivery and implied the new copyholder was not present at the court.

Thanks again
