Hi Folks. I've put a marriage entry for Thomas Netherwood on the Old-English Unsolved pages at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved40.html I can't make out the name of Thomas's parish. At first I thought the first word was "Saynt" but that didn't hold up on closer inspection. This is the only Netherwood entry I found in Burgh; evidently Katherine came from here and Thomas from elsewhere. As far as I know, there is not a Netherwood presence in all of Suffolk so he might have been from anywhere. There were Netherwoods in Essex and Cambridge around this time; some in London as well. I've also found a Yorkshire Netherwood or two in Norfolk this century, probably due to something concerning the cloth trade. Any ideas on what this place might be would be appreciated. cheers, Judith Werner Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Administrator, OLD-ENGLISH-L http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/
I'm finding the first word impossible at the moment but would agree with Martyn about the second, that is "Comites". As this is Latin for County, perhaps the first word is the name of the county? Can't make any sort of guess at the moment though. Don't think I agree with what Martyn has just suggested.
