You are right there Suzanne, It's called consanguination- " marrying blood relatives". The Priest was stating that the dispensation was needed for the marrying of blood relatives and had obviously been received. The order of the relationship could have been anything from 1st. cousin to any one of the other cousin relationships although generally first to first direct would have been frowned upon and probably not allowed. The latter part of the entry I don't understand. (Alterboys wouldn't normally be that involved)...Lol Now this bit: "If any lister lives in the Kilmore area and knows of a Kathleen Freeman connected with the name Barry in the Bastarstown area in recent times could you please contact me off list". For the benefit of those not in Ireland the location is of course called BASTARDSTOWN, I don't think it is making a statement here with the name and this is, a genuine location! It consists of 191 acres and is located in the Parish of Kilmore in the Barony of Bargy. Suzanne is either having a Typo day or being polite? (Bargy is pronounced BAR-GEE as in melted butter, as opposed to Gee-up for horses). slan Cyril Newsome Loch Garman ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suzanne Dodd" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 1:22 AM Subject: [WEX] Need LATIN help please > Re-Listing,Hello again, > I found last Wednesday a Marriage entry for a Patrick FREEMAN and a Bridget CORISH in 1877 for Kilmore.Now under the heading of Impeditmentum I think it reads as follows Dispensatium impedimento consanguinatio in tertio et tertio fr-d or t-- > > Poor schoolgirl Latin gives me gives me a dispensation from the impediment of consanguinity,I think but what does the last bit mean.Has anyone a clue please?

Thanks to Cyril and Rich for their information on the Latin meaning. Definitely means a trip back to the Library in Wexford now to find how the FREEMANS and CORISH families were already linked. Bad Typo day Cyril , had been up 21 hrs after returning from a very wet holiday,guess where,it is the wettest May in Ireland for many a year! I was told by a local lady that Bastardstown is now referred to by some people now as Seaview :)) Suzanne
