At least I think its Latin - either that or the guy wrote what he thought looked like Latin, I've tried it on online translators and get nothing! Here goes: Morbo et infirmitate oculorum meorum presertimque gardianorum incuria factum est ut duobus precedentibus annis vid 1606 & 1607 Any takers? Thanks Lisa |

Easy bits: Oculorum meorum – of my eyes Factum est – is made? Ut – in order to Duobus precedentibus annis – looks like - in the two preceding years Vid – videlect – that is to say Translation was never my strong point. What on earth is this from? A will? |

Something about sickness and infirmaty and doing something by 1606/7 I think. Doesn't really make sense unless you know in what context it was said. |

Lisa, Stabbing a guess - 'A gradual illness and weakness of the eyes, chiefly through neglect during the last two years, ie. 1606/07.' Does that make any sense? Ian |

There seems to be something missing from the end of this. It says something along the lines of : It has happened through illness and disease of my eyes and especially through the neglect of my guardians with the result that in the last 2 years, that is 1606 & 1607,........... Jack |

Thanks all, I might be able to cook something up from that lot! Its from a parish register of marriages, a note added by the vicar 'at the end of 1607', it says. There was only one entry for 1607, maybe he's trying to explain that his sight had gone and thats why! Thanks to all, Lisa |
