Title: Phillimore's Parish Records
Post by: Muddy Waters on Tuesday 28 February 06 13:05 GMT (UK)

Hi
I am asking this question for a friend who asked it of me, she is not a rootschatter - and I could not give her an answer.  I feel sure there is someone out there who can!
It seems that in Phillimore's Parish records for Cornwall there appear to be some letters after certain marriages i.e. p, t, y etc. The Preface does give some explanation for the meaning of the letters but my friend cannot discover an explanation for the letters t and y.    Can anyone help before it drives me completely mad!
regards
Muddy

T = tinner
Y = yeoman
