Abbreviations in 16th Century Cringleford Manor Court Rentals MSS
« on: Thursday 01 February 24 14:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking at the 16th Century Manor Court Rentals for Cringleford. They are very interesting because members of my family (in the variant Pydde and Pede ) appear quite a lot.

I am trying to understand why on nearly every line another line appears underneath in a different ink. Also quite common is the use of what I believe may be an abbreviation which appears in the form of 'Mo' with another 'o' or what might be a 'b' above the 'o' in 'Mo'.

Does anyone know what this abbreviated word might mean and what the significance of the second line in another colour ink signifies in these types of records ??

many thanks
John
