Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help to decipher 1672 Marriage surname
« on: Thursday 18 December 25 14:09 GMT (UK) »
Hi Bookbox,
I have carried out a blanket search for Anthony Courteous, Antony Courteous, Anthony Cou* and Antony Cou* on Family Search, 1610 to 1660, with no hits on these variants. The surnames which appear are Coulinge, Coulson and Couper.

Can you help decipher the surname of Anthony?
The entry is in the All Saints' Church, Batley, marriages for 1672.
There are no BTs for this period.

Janet

Could "Suliber" be a corruption of, or a phonetic rendering of, “Slubber”?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with occupation on 1753 baptism entry

Hello,
I have come across the attached entry in the All Saints’ Church baptism register, but I am struggling to make out Joseph Wilby’s occupation in the 9 February entry.
In another entry, on 04 Jan 1750/1, if it is the same person, his occupation is recorded as Suliber, another occupation which I am unfamiliar with.
I wouldd be grateful if you could help me with these occupations.
Regards,
Janet

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Query Regarding Symbols in Baptism Entries

I have encountered an additional instance that likely confirms the symbolic use of a ‘half circle’ and a ‘full circle’. The half circle appears to denote a private baptism, while the full circle - accompanied by a date -indicates the individual’s formal reception into the church.
This evidence supports the interpretation proposed by Bookbox.
Thank you to all who contributed to this discussion.

Thank you, Bookbox,
Are you suggesting that a private baptism was initially marked with a 'C', and later changed to an 'O' once the individual was formally received into the church?
