Title: What is this name?
Post by: JammyGem on Sunday 07 June 20 15:00 BST (UK)
Hi all, hoping you can help decipher the handwriting to figure out Randall Arrowsmith's wife's name here. It's been transcribed previously as 'Tomasca' but I'm not sure that's correct - I'm also wondering whether it says "prima uxor" or if I've read that wrong, although I don't understand why that would be in the burial record unless he remarried incredible quickly?

Thanks! It's obvious once it's pointed out, doh!  ;D
