I need some help reading this Sherborne, Dorset entry.  Here it the url:

Is it an entry for the death 4 April 1645 of Guillaume Pegmon miter?  Is miter a title for Bishop?

Thanks,
Curtis

Hi

If you look further down the page to a burial on the 9th of a Henry ?   the word appears again. I think it could be MILES ~ which is latin for soldier / knight / infantry man.

Yes, now that you point it out I can see the uncrossed "l" and the "s" on the end instead of an "r".  Thank you for that! 

I saw on this page a reference after several deaths the word peregrine.

Are these people casualties of the First English Civil War?

Also, does the word peregrine on this page mean foreign born?

Hi

It would definitely fit in with the English Civil War and what was happening in Dorset at the time

PEREGRINE definitely means foreign, although a couple of the names with that written at the end of it, don't sound foreign. Maybe means 'from another county' perhaps, not too sure.
