Title: 1600s Baptism record old writing and possibly a bit of latin thrown in to boot
Post by: CJ on Friday 10 January 20 21:29 GMT (UK)
Can anyone decipher the writing on this old baptism.  The Thomas Millsom is one of mine but it's the ones below that mention Thomas and 3 and a half years and the Edward and two and a half that are confusing me. (Hope I have managed to attach it  ;D )

Many thanks

CJ

I think the first son was Sallamone. The top of the second l is faint and a bit rubbed out.

Thank you, as the one above them is Thomas Millsome I wanted to make sure that with them both starting with Thomas that they weren't linked in any way.  I can now move on.

Thanks again
