Latin Parish Registers

[Chrissie7]

Hi, can anyone help with Latin Parish Registers please. I have made steps forwards with names but its odd words that I can’t understand. I’m look at Hannington, Northants, around 1660s

Not sure if this screen shot will come through, but could anyone tell me what Buried would be in Latin, or Died. Wife of? Its all a mystery.

Thanks for any help. Really appreciated.

Hello Chrissie7,

Welcome to British-Genealogy.

I remember amo, amas, amat, etc from my schooldays, but was a bit stumped by your request till I suddenly had and remembered wife is 'uxor'. Or vxor as written in your screenshot.

Googling found this link https://www.wakefieldfhs.org.uk/latin%20terminology.htm
which is slightly unhelpful because the Latin word is first but it doesn't take long to skim through the list.

buried is SEPTUS

dead is MORTUUS

wife is UXOR

When in doubt with Latin I simply Google "Translate Latin to English" and scroll through the list of returns - there are many sites , some better than others

uxor as in the English word uxorious

I can see filius (son) and filia (daughter). Gulielmus = William. Gulielmi = "of William". But I don't know the two words circled in green !

Posted this message twice somehow - SORRY

Gulielmus = William. Gulielmi = "of William".

in other words, word endings (even of names) change depending on meaning

Gulielmus filius Gulielmi = William son of William. Elizabetha uxor Gulielmi = Elizabeth wife of William

[wimsey]

just wondering if the lower of the two circled words might be Nupt. as in nuptials (marriages)

so the other circled word, as a heading, might be Sepult. as in sepultura = burial.

Think you might have cracked it wimsey.

Top entry says Elizabeth daughter of William and ? baptised (date)
William son of William and Margaret - presumably also baptised

Next entries are burials (Sepult)
Elizabeth wife of William Turland
Elizabeth wife of William (Poynton?)

Next entry is a marriage (Nupt)
Thomas Gumion of somewhere and Joan Eobbot.

I know the surnames are very badly transcribed, but you get the drift.

This was in the days when baptisms, marriages, and burials were all written in the same register.

Like David, I generally use Google Translate, but for those off-line occasions, i have a multi-language dictionary that includes latin in my phone... It's impressed more than one archive supervisor before now!
