Title: Baptism 1679 Rothwell, Yorkshire
Post by: treeworm on Saturday 24 June 17 15:40 BST (UK)

Hello all :)

Hoping someone could help me decipher the words on two baptisms. Both are in Rothwell, Yorkshire. In looking for children born to John Moore/More/Moor  between 1666- 1680 there are several baptisms but these two both have this added note.

From what I can decipher:

Sarah daughter of Jo. Moor ....................? Oulton baptised ( 16 January 1679, Rothwell, Yorkshire)&

Eliz. daughter  of John Moor ..................? baptised (20 August 1682, Rothwell, Yorkshire)

First clip:

...of y^e yeats de Oulton...

The last letter of yeats is not clear.

Second clip:

...of y^e: yate...

y^e = the
de = of (Latin)

I found a volume of Rothwell transcripts online which has these entries transcribed as above.  See:

https://archive.org/stream/registersofparis27roth#page/320/mode/2up/search/yeatide

The second entry is on the next double page.

ADDED:

A reference here to a place called Lingwell-Yate may be of interest:

It's more than likely wrong but needs pointing out. There is Jinny (Jonny?) Moor lane at Oulton near Seventhorpe Hall

Could the fathers surname be Yeat(s). ?
