Title: Wilsford (w/- Lake) marriage about 1630ish
Post by: ribbo39 on Monday 25 August 25 05:52 BST (UK)

Hi all,

I'm looking for more help please in  deciphering the attached screenshot.

I think it says Walter Frowde (Froud) - m - Ann Long.
Am unable to decipher the date.

Walter was baptising children in Kingsclere from 1634 - 1643.
Is anyone able to help please?

Many thanks,

Alan

The image is too small to maintain a readable resolution when zoomed to a readable size.

It looks to me that the name is Walter fford and the date ends with:  ...day of June an(n)o p(re)dicto

However this is 90% guesswork.

Zoom the target part of your image to a readable size and take a snip with the Snipping Tool (or similar).

Thank you.
I have re-sized it to the almost limit allowed and have re-sent.

Is this a better screenshot?
