I'd be grateful for advice on the interpretation of the following burial record as I can't see how to contact the project directly: PARISH CODE BUNB DATED 6651010 FORENAME RANDLE SURNAME *JUDSON SEX M INF_SNAME *JUDGSON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION *JUDGSON :A SERVANT FROM SPURSTO HALL I'm not clear on the 'INF_SNAME. Does it mean that Randle Judson was an infant, as I understood that this term was usually applied to a baby, or was he a young boy who was a servant at Spurstow Hall? On the other hand was the servant at Spurstow Hall his father? DON TOMKINSON

Hi Don My interpretation is: Parish: Bunbury Date: 10 October 1665 The surname is recorded as Judson, although it could be Judgson (sometimes names have optional spellings). It seems that Randle was a servant from Spurstow Hall, near Tarporley. The CPRP website, I believe, has explanations of the field names which can be reached from the home page.

Hi I would guess that INF_SNAME is inferred surname and related to the spelling in the information section Julie Sent from my iPad > On 17 May 2014, at 12:44, Ruth Appleby <orange.wasps@live.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi Don > > My interpretation is: > > Parish: Bunbury > Date: 10 October 1665 > > The surname is recorded as Judson, although it could be Judgson (sometimes names have optional spellings).

<<snipped>> I'd be grateful for advice on the interpretation of the following burial record as I can't see how to contact the project directly: PARISH CODE BUNB DATED 6651010 FORENAME RANDLE SURNAME *JUDSON SEX M INF_SNAME *JUDGSON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION *JUDGSON :A SERVANT FROM SPURSTO HALL I'm not clear on the 'INF_SNAME. Does it mean that Randle Judson was an infant, as I understood that this term was usually applied to a baby, or was he a young boy who was a servant at Spurstow Hall? On the other hand was the servant at Spurstow Hall his father? <<snipped>> Odd that - http://cgi.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/Live/v3.6/gindex.html lists the database columns (fields) for the burial table and lists inf_fname_1 inf_sname_1 inf_res_1 inf_fname_2 inf_sname_2 inf_res_2 But does not explain what they are! I am puzzled but I can tell you that the PR (parish code BUNB) reads [1665 Oct] 10 Randle Judson a serv't from [Spurstow] hall (OK - I cheated reading "Spurstow" - I just used the CPRDB text!) While the BT (parish code BUNA) reads: [1665 Oct] Randle Judgson of Spurstow So there are two spellings of the surname, so "inf" may well mean "inferred" as suggested. By the way - stand by for a dose of irony / sarcasm from me - according to some people I shouldn't be able to find this on FMP. Funny that - I did - in one shot. Adrian B
