Help with deciphering, please

Post by Kathy » Sat Feb 03, 2007 12:01 pm

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'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
Aw the best and happy huntin'
Roy.
