Title: Deciphering latin on church register - any help appreciated
Post by: Rose on Tuesday 28 January 14 21:26 GMT (UK)

Any help reading or deciphering latin on a church register would be much appreciated.
A baptism record for Dorothea/Dora Rooney is on the irishgenealagyie. website. St Agatha Dublin on 21st November 1870. Parents Thomas Rooney and Mary Purcell.

It is shown on the church register at the bottom of the page which is dark. There is a comment in the last column which, although becomes clearer as you zoom in, I can't read.

Having looked again at the phrase and seen the word 'junctis and mat...' could it be latin for parents not joined in matrimony?

Many thanks.

Rose

Exactly so.  :)

ex Parentibus non Junctis in Matrimonio

from parents not joined in marriage

Thank you for confirming my thoughts. No wonder I couldn't find a marriage.
