Name of abode in 1639 Baptism BT's
« on: Friday 03 February 23 19:29 GMT (UK) »
Good evening,
I am looking for help with the place of abode to complete the following transcription from the 1639 BT's for All Saints' Church, Batley:

Richard son of Thomas Webster of ? baptized  Febur [February]

Thank you for taking the time to view.

Regards

Janet

Gildersome, I think. It looks to be written Gildrsom with a contraction mark above - you probably know better than I do what spelling variants were in use at that time and thus which letter(s) may have been omitted.

Agree with you there, Arthur

Looks to begin Gi - look at the G in George 2 lines above and ends som, so likely to be Gildersom.

Brilliant! another piece of the puzzle fitted.

Thank you for very quick responses.

Gildersome (4 miles away) was, at this time, the lay chapel to All Saints', Batley.

Regards,

Janet
