Greetings Can anyone help with the meaning of an entry in a baptism: John Tender ye son of Gartrud Bailey [et Populi] was baptized on ye 18th August 1718 1. Does this mean that a fellow whose surname was Tender had a child by Gartrud Bailey, but Mr Tender has not married her and she is having the boy baptized as John Tender, the son of Gartrud Bailey... or 2. The boy is being baptized by his mother, Gartrud Bailey and that his name is John Tender Bailey Can anyone help with the expression 'et Populi' in this context? Best regards Graeme
