Is this Latin a record of the Banns
« on: Saturday 02 July 22 17:31 BST (UK) »
This item is a record from a parish register of 1656

I believe this is just a record of the reading of the banns before the wedding, and not the wedding itself.

The first line describes it as the marriage of Nicholas Carew, Armiger, and Susanna Isham of Lamport in the county of Northampton.
Does the rest tell me that the banns were read in the church on April 13th, 20th and 27th?
FamilySearch interprets the record as being a marriage on the 27th but other records suggest the marriage was (probably at Lamport but I cannot find that record) on May 4th

I am interested because it is the only entry of its kind in the parish register for the whole of the 17th century

Yes, it's just the banns.
The marriage was in Lamport on 2 May - record on Ancestry here ...

Ancestry also has the banns record here ...

Both are in English, as would be expected during the Interregnum. What is the source of your Latin entry for the banns?

I've now found it on FamilySearch in Frankton, Warwickshire. I'm afraid FamilySearch often mis-record banns dates as marriage dates.

Thank you

the Latin record is in the parish register at Frankton, Warwickshire, where Nicholas Carew's sister was living, married to Thomas Temple.  It is possible (suggested by the banns record) that Nicholas was living in Frankton as he had been too young to inherit the family home at Beddington in 1649 and it had been leased to the Earl of Warwick
