I have a marriage entry, James McFee and Agness Semple both of this parish were .......... the 16th

Its probably something simple, but I cant quite work it out, it looks like booked or hooked.

Could someone take a look at the link please

Hi Kathy,

I see it as booked.

June 1821
James McFee and Agness Semple both of this parish were booked the 16th

All the best,

Hi Kathy
I'm pretty sure it's BOOKED.
In the Scots Dictionary the word Booking as a noun is- the act of recording names for proclamation of banns; the feast formerly held on that occasion.

Hope this helps
