Can anyone translate this for me please...?
« on: Saturday 25 May 13 11:48 BST (UK) »
How I wish I had taken Latin when I had the chance at school!!!

"...filia et haeres Anger et vxoris filiae et heredis Vrswik ..."


I suspect it means "daughter and heiress of Anger and also daughter and heiress of Urswick", but it's the "et vxoris" which I'm not sure of and I would be grateful if someone could confirm or otherwise my suspicions please. 

And also - as the 'v' in vxoris and Vrswik seem to be substitutes for 'U', is it possible that the 'n' in Anger could be a substitute for a 'u'?

... the daughter and heiress of Anger and of his wife [who was] the daughter and heiress of Urswik.

V and U can be interchangeable.

re Anger/Auger - it's printed as N in the Harleian Society edition of 1869 (The Visitation of London in the Year 1568).

Thank you, Bookbox.

That confirms what I thought - and thanks for the link too.
