Hi, can anyone help decipher a baptism record from 1764.
It reads "*Ann & William Dunne twins J & D of Edward Davies mercer & Susanna his Wife 13 Jan"
A few things confuse me here. Dunne I believe is Susanna's maiden name from a Banns record of 1760. All the surrounding records are of the format "John son of David & Mary Cooper bapt: Nov 11"?
What do "J & D' stand for?
I think it says 'mercer', but no other records nearby have the father's profession like this.
If anyone can shine a light I'd be very grateful.
Simon

Hi Emeltee - aha I agree, comparing with other S's. Thx
Could it say 'Ann & William Dunne...' because they have been given a second name of their mother's maiden name and then surname Davies as expected?
Thx again

Solved the Dunne part by finding one of the children's will - indeed William Dunne Davies.
