Help with deciphering two surnames - 1560/1563 - Completed
« on: Sunday 08 April 12 18:27 BST (UK) »
Hello all. I need help deciphering two surnames. Both are from the Poole, Dorset, transcript.

The first name, is a recorded burial in 1563. The name appears to me as, "George Bassom". However, the last character of the surname is faded/oddly written, and therefore hard to determine what it resembles. Ancestry had transcribed the surname as "Basten", but, I believe this to be incorrect. I need second opinions as I'm really unsure.

The second name is a burial that took place in 1560. I believe it states something to the effect of, "John ... son of John Bosomme was buried ...". Ancestry suggested it was "John Beson son of John Beson" -- which it clearly is not!! But, again, I'm not 100% certain if I've interpreted it correctly!

Most obliged for your time and help.

I agree with Alexander, but don't understand why it says "was buryed" when there were two persons named.
