Hi List. I have been reading an early transcript of Crickhowell PR from 1700- 1750 where the month is written like 9 ber does this indicate its September or December. Gerwyn

Hi Gerwyn I used Google and found this question has been asked before and here is the reply Sometimes 7 ber, 8 ber, 9 ber and 10 ber were used for September, October, November and December. This was based on the Latin words for 7 (septem), 8 (octo), 9 (novem) & 10 (decem).
