    1. [LIN] Latin in parish registers
    2. Ann Brick
    3. I am transcribing a burial register for FreeREG and have come across a couple of Latin phrases which I hope someone will be able to translate for me: “sepulcrum eius ipse effodi” – ‘sepulcrum’ suggests it is saying something about the burial, but what? and “uxor Raymundi in partu defuncta” – I know ‘uxor’ is wife and ‘Raymundi’ presumably is Raymond, but what does the rest of it mean? These entries are from the 1940s and 1950s and I hadn’t expected to come across Latin references in such a modern register. Perhaps the vicar was just showing off! How I wish now that I had studied Latin at school! Ann --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
