    3. Hello all. I'm doing the parish record transcription thing and I need a bit of help with the word "senex" My Latin dictionary says "senex" means "old (over 45) old man, old woman". Sometimes the records say "senex" other times they say "sen." I'm wondering if "sen." means senior or if it is short for "senex"? Can "senex" mean senior or is the only meaning of "senex" "old"? I don't think I could have been more confusing if I tried. Thanks in advance. P.S. I'll be doing this with other words over the next few weeks, as I near the end of the burials. -Michael- www.tutton.org
