Name of the bride

[Nookie]

I would really appreciate some assistance with this. Matthew Maw married on 29 October, and his bride has been transcribed as Hencefaith.

In all the records of the baptism of his children the mother (his wife) is clearly recorded as Silence.  Could someone with experience in old handwriting please confirm her name.

Many thanks

There is an index (no image) of a child, Mathew Maw, being baptised, with parents Mathew and Hencefaith in 1712.

Perhaps this is a different Mathew Maw getting married? What year is your image from?

It looks like Silens Faith to me. There is a small upright between the tall strokes that have been taken as a capital H.

Sorry - I was really not thinking straight.  I should have said mother of Matthew Jnr, not the bride.  The image is one that I got directly from FS showing the baptism of Jnr.

I also think so, but was worried that it was just wishful thinking on my part, so needed some expert opinion.

Many thanks
