Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a notation I found on film of register from St Michaels RC parish church, Houghton I have managed to decipher the habitual Latin for births, marriages and deaths, however there is a much later entry next to my great grandmother Sarah GLENDENNINGs baptism. It's helpful because it obviously relates to her marriage and gives me a date but I was wondering what the entry means - its something like "Matrimonium contraseit cum Ernest LYNN in St Michaelis" (13 July 1915). Anyone know what this means? I've tried googling without a lot of success! Regards Julie
Hi Julie >>>>"Matrimonium contraseit cum Ernest LYNN in St Michaelis" (13 July 1915).>>>> Afraid I do not know the actual translation word for word but in general it means the marriage took place between Sarah GLENDENNING and Ernest LYNN in St. Michael's on 13 July 1915 I have come across these margin entries quite a few times in the Catholic Parish records. I have also noticed later baptisms sometimes show the confirmation date of that person.
