One hard-to-read word in a Burial record
« on: Thursday 26 March 20 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help with this?  There is bad bleed-through on the register page, but I have enhanced it as well as I can. The text is: "John Broadway ______ was buried April ye xvii 1679".  But what is that missing word??

Who's going to win the virtual coconut?

I've sharpened it up some more, loosing some of the bleed through but I still can't read it.

I've attached it in case others can.

Difficult with the bleed-through, but is it not 'was'?

Hello Rosie.  It was at St Michael's, Winchester.

Do you know what is normally written for burials from that era? 

I mean would there normally be an abode or an occupation after the name? 
That could help with the deciphering.

Thank you piker,  I was hoping that perhaps I could see more of the page online to see what others have written against them.
