Hello,
I am having trouble deciphering the sentances in both margins of the Alice McDonald entry, from the St Jude's Church, Hunslet, Leeds, 1857 baptism register.
Left margin: some of the words? youngest child is born 1850
Right margin: some of the words? Married in haste when
I have transcribed the entry.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Regards,
Janet

- Hart
her daughter
Anne Hart

I will have a stab at the left margin-
child youngest d... 85 in feb N 1935 therefore(triangle of 3 dots is a common abbreviation for therefore) born 1850
Sounds like the d word should be died?
-
Right hand side, I see a couple of possibilities:
‘Married in hast when daughter came about’.
‘Married a/in Hart when daughter Anne ***** (died??)’

Looking at this information it maybe Mary Jennett abr saying she was born 1850. there is a public tree on ancestry also 1851, 1861 and 1871 census with this family. cheers
