Latin not at end of baptismal cert
« on: Friday 18 April 25 16:57 BST (UK) »
There is note in Latin I've not seen before after this baptismal entry. Something about the parents, magi? something?

Anyone come across this before or know what it is?

I think people are going to want to see more of the page so they can compare the letters in the screenshot with other letters on the page. Even better, post a link to the image on line and/or the names and dates of the baptism so people can see it themselves.

I think it is parentis vagi suent.
The parents were wandering? Possibly transients, or just not of that parish.

As dublin1850 says.
The Latin is Parentes Vagi Sunt (= 'the parents are wanderers/vagrants'). It may imply that the family was not settled in the parish.
