Title: Word in Marriage Register 1709
Post by: karen58 on Monday 16 February 26 00:42 GMT (UK)

Hi

I'm finding it difficult to transcribe the word highlighted. The a in the word parish looks like an e and is completely different to the a in Saddleworth, Jane and Gartside.

It looks like '& artifide from Saddleworth' to me.

Thank you
Karen

In the first line of this and the record beneath he spells it:  perish

It's just normal spelling variation for the time.

The word of interest is:  certifide

Apparently someone or something has certified Jane's place of residence, settlement or origin.

Hi horselydown86
Thankyou,

Cerifide makes sense.
