1640 baptism France

[goldie61]

I would be grateful if someone could fill in any of the gaps after the godfather’s name in this baptism from 1640 at Montreuil sur Mer, pas de Calais.
This is a link to a previous posting over a year ago - at that time we were just really interested in getting the basic facts about Anne D’aire.
Now I’ve come to look at the finer detail!

‘Jacques du Pieron [       ] (is this something crossed out?), then Sieur du C…   
[           ] en la citadelle de Monstroeil
La maraine Anne de Crocq'

My assumption is that it’s giving some information about Jacques de Pieron, but you never know what clues may be hidden.

Thank you very much

A hard one.
Jacques du Perron, lieutenant sieur du ... en
... en la citadelle de Monstroeil
La maraine Anne du Crocq

I found this:

Is this the same man? His name should then be du Perrin.
then maybe sieur du Bus?

Thanks very much Zefiro.

I think you've cracked it!

I had been thinking Anne had been baptised 'en la citadelle', but I think this refers to Jacques.
I know many soldiers were 'au detachment' in the citadel over the years, but it doesn't quite look like that. Perhaps something similar.

[Zefiro]

It should be like this (I now doubt there's written bus en). Anyway, off to bed now

Ahhhhh!
It's 'Lieutenant' again!
Good work Zefiro! 


And I've just got up! (well, an hour or so ago).
