Strange name and a few other bits
« on: Thursday 16 April 15 20:35 BST (UK) »
What I have so far is James Wardlaw, Cloathiar (clothier I'm thinking).

Next two are his wife's name, Bessie Stirk.

Then a.d.n. which I know from other parts of the page is abbreviation for ' a daughter named'

Then is the name 'Tunnoetae'  :o ???  What kind of name is that!!!

Then witnesses Robert Stainford ? and George Trotter ( I'm happy with Trotter, they pop in and out of my line. I even have an ancestor with it as a first name) .What are the next two words, their joint profession, but what? I thought the first word was 'boy'.

 Then Daniel ( can't make out the surname) he also seems to be a clothier. Then Michael (can't make out the surname). He seems to have the same profession as Robert and George.


Any thoughts anyone, especially on that name. IGI transcribes it as Tunnoetae.

I'll have to take your word for it Richard. I can't see that no matter how hard I look. It would fit in with his James' trade though.

Thank you.

Sey weavers.

Sey or say was a kind of woollen cloth, like serge.

Thanks whiteout, clayton, CAJ and GR2.

 Sey weaver sounds good and would fit in nicely with the clothier.
