Where is, or was Eade?

[Tim Brayshaw]

Doesn't it seem more logical that if the word 'Eade' is found in several other old parish registers, from completely different areas, then it has nothing to do with a specific place?

[Speedway ace]

 I am of the same opinion,  The Country cannot be covered in villages called Eade

[Speedway ace]

just done a bit of research.

Latin) Eadem...   ' by the same way' or likewise.

 In the transcription or the records of Codsall for the entry I quoted it is written as de eade m The detatched M may mean marriage?  Remember it is/was common to abbreviate Latin.

Latin) Nuper.... Lately... not so long ago

Not to mix up with! 'Nup or Nupt' in old parish registers is 'marriage' (16/17th centuries)

Latin nuptiālis, from nuptiae -marriage
----------------------------------------------

Note:-  'de' is mostly from a place in Almondbury parish register

Example

06-06 Edmundus Shaw et Maria Tunnecliffe de Eade vill - nupt  (de Eade village)

03-10 Maria f Johannis Shawe de Cloughgate (supra Marsden) - bapt

[Sandymc47]

Just had a look at some old English or Anglo Saxon.

Ead and the plural Eade means one or all of the following words

rich, wealthy, blessed, happy

on the marriage certificates could mean blessed as in the marriage was blessed.

[Speedway ace]

just consulted a friend of mine who is an Historian and author of local history books, he has this to say, about the marriage entry I posted with the the words nuper & eade

This is very common parlance in early registers. ..       translates as,

Richard Jenks late of Codsall and Anne Hand of the same place.

regards Nigel.

So we're back where we started from, of the same place (as the one above), therefore ditto.

Have you looked in the early  Almondbury PR's for the 16th century ( mid to late 1500's) as they are much more detailed than later 17th century one line entries. The 'de eade' maybe more defined.

Exactly. This thread has definitely entered the flagellum equus mortuus zone.
