One of the meanings of Susceptares is Guardian so could they be the God Parents?

Quite right, Meg - just found them in a vocabulary list for church Latin susceptor is godfather susceptorix is godmother. My school Latin is very rusty, but the meaning of the whole sentence is odd. Domina is Lady. "Ego et" means, "me and" so "the godparents and I"? Or if the second word was "est" not "et", it could be "I am the godfather and Lady Eliz Froggat is the godmother". Someone else may well remember more than me.... NB The vocabulary list is at https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Latin_Genealogical_Word_List#S for future use by anyone.
