Translation of Manorial Record
« on: Sunday 02 April 23 22:26 BST (UK) »
Is anyone here able to help translate this entry from the manorial records of Amberly Manor in Sussex. It is an admission relating to the Tribe family. I can read the names Maria Tribe [widow I think], Christopher Tribe, Jana [Jane?] Tribe, Elizabeth Tribe [daughter of Maria and Christopher?] but I am struggling with the rest.

Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks everyone.

Hi Bookbox

Many, many thanks for that. This image is half of the original [I had to crop it in two as it was too big to be posted as one image. I will add the other half tomorrow.

This is really useful and appreciated.

Thanks again.

Here is the second part of the record which was missing from my first post. The two images probably overlap slightly.

I am having to post this in sections due to the file size. Part 3 next.

Many thanks for this Bookbox. Now I can work out how this Christopher fits into my tree.
