Terry, what I try to do is read many of the pages in the same handwriting to get a gist of the letters and notations. On another page it may be clearer to see what is noted there. I read the Parish records from Leitrim from start to finish and by the end of the roll, I could read the records pretty well! Its all about familiarization. So I suggest spending a week or so reading these records until you are more familiar then tackling the transcription again! Also, Riobard might be able to figure it out for you, since he is the most familiar with the handwriting and quirks on these Parish registers. I'm attaching an image of the marriage record I cropped for you. I don't think images can go to the list, but at least you will have one for your records. If you can upload the image to a message board post, then you can post the URL from that message board back here to the list so everyone else can look more easily.
