Title: 1592 handwriting help please
Post by: TamA77 on Tuesday 08 October 19 04:49 BST (UK)

Hello, I was wondering please if anyone could shed any light on what is written after the name in this burial record? He was an adult so I wouldn't expect to see a 'son of' and his family held some status in the village so perhaps it is something to do with that...It is the entry for Richard Austen in 1592, the second one down.  Thank you

The burial just above the top of the image is similarly a howseholder.
