Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: How many pounds?

Yes, it says 4 pounds. The preceding mark is just a lead-in line, showing that a numeral follows.

I am doubtful about the surname being Dessdale. I wonder if it is Depdale (= Deepdale?). I think it could be a p in the middle rather ss. But here it is regardless ...

Thomasina Depdale[?], whilst living of Hingham, died intestate on the 24th day of the abovewritten month and year. Letters of administration of the goods of the same were issued, directed to Charles Bannester, the natural son of the said deceased, who has to submit a true, full and complete inventory of the goods etc. before the Feast of All Saints next to come etc.

Esc. stands for Escheat and shows that there was an Inquisition Post Mortem for the relevant person at the given date. IPMs are held at the National Archives and name-indexed in Discovery - see here ...

They've also been calendared and abstracted online - see here ...

Br. is probably John Bridges' History and Antiquities of Northamptonshire ...

Fermor - I'm less sure about this. 'Evidences' usually refers to a collection of documents, perhaps in this case the estate papers of the Fermor-Hesketh family at Northants Archives, as catalogued here?

You could ask Northants Archives for more information.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin name/word before surname

I think it's ... or. sic (= 'the original thus'), meaning that space for the name was also left blank in the original from which he was copying.

The Common Room / Re: Baptism entry.
« on: Sunday 03 August 25 13:54 BST (UK)  »
Being 'received into the church' is part of the sacrament of baptism, which is why it may be noted in the register for those baptised at home. It's not simply a record having attended church.

Looking at the image (rather than Ancestry's transcription), I think he served for only 15 months, 5 June 87 to 4 Sep 88. Discharged 'Shore per order & request'.

There is an earlier baptism, (Peter, 1767) which may or may not be linked, in Langton Matravers, with the father's name Richard but the mother is Priscilla. I've not been able to find this marriage, nor a burial of Priscilla, nor any further offspring attributed to this couple. Is this the same Richard?

Have you tried searching under PHEPPARD ?
