Title: Frampton , Dorset Registers
Post by: toby webb on Wednesday 14 December 22 19:16 GMT (UK)

I would be pleased for any help on the parts underlined. Names are difficult but her relationship with John may be possible. Thanks, Toby.

She is the wife of John Fors.
"wiffe"

It's a very fancy 'w' at the start.
The entry above has the same word for Mary Porter.

Her name begins with an "S", then what looks 'istl.' - the last letter possibly a 'y'?

Added:
13 Sept 1637 Frampton Henry 'Forse' buried, son of John Forse and 'Cicele'.
15 June 1634 Frampton Ellinor 'Fore' baptised of John and 'Sisely'.
(These are transcriptions on familysearch. Film locked)

So it looks as though the 1644 attempt by the scribe of 'Sistly', was his version of Cicely.

Thank you goldie61.
I don't believe I would have ever got that but it all ties in very nicely. Many thanks, T.
