    Default dunelm What does it mean?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm doing some Transcribing for FreeReg for Romaldkirk in NRY and have come across this entry, and wonder if anyone can help me translate what it means.



    Regards,

    The full phrase you're looking at is "in Com. Dunelm" - Latin for "in the County of Durham" (or "in Co. Durham" as we would say now).

    Thanks Arthur, it was causing me a bit of a problem, as one of the townships around Romaldkirk is Compark (or Cornpark) which is often shortened in the Register to Com.
    The other thing that is puzzling me is the entry doesn't say if it's a baptism or a burial and is entered in the Jan 1667/68 list but has Sep 10th at the end of the entry. Any ideas?

    P.S. just had an idea! Maybe it means Sepult as in Burial and not September!

    Sep 10th at the end of the entry. Any ideas?

    Isn't it Sep = sepultat = buried on the 10th?

    Thanks Peter, I'd just thought of that myself, although that appears to be the only time it was used.
