Title: Deciphering marriage register please
Post by: Rochdalian on Thursday 28 August 25 03:00 BST (UK)

Hi, could someone more skilled than me please have a go at deciphering the attached snip from a register from Tarporley, Cheshire. It is the record of the marriage of John Done and Mary Bleaze on 2nd Feb 1593.
Thank you
Bob
