Birth record - something I can't read
« on: Friday 06 September 13 04:32 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I can read most of this but there is something written under the plain facts - a few lines above, a similar entry seems to be stating the birth dates..

 - If this one is saying the same, I can't read it!

Green  /   Richard son of Isaac and Frances  / July 2
                 born   . . . . . . . . . .??   (the one above seems very similar)

Please can you read what's on top of the crossed out bit?

I bet once you tell me, it will become obvious!   :-[ :-\ ;)

Thanks,

Wiggy   :)

I agree with horselydown86.  The crossed out word appears to be "named".  The examples above suggest that the date in the right column may be the date of baptism - note that one entry states "brought to church".
Hope this helps

Thank you both very much - and of course now you tell me I can see it - it is that sideways of writing 8 that stumps me every time. 

I agree with you Horselydown - Nov 24th 1808!   Many thanks.   

Ron,   Think 'November' is more likely in that context than 'named' - though that's what I thought it was initially - didn't make sense though, which is why I asked!
