That is “of this parish”.

Where the tail of the p comes back across itself, it indicates missing letters - the equivalent of writing “p’ish” today.

Dear Both,

Thanks for the explanations regarding "of this parish". It would havd taken me ages to get there.

Can I ask though what exactly the index is that you mentioned?

Thanks again,

Richarf
