    Samuel Leicester baptism, 1684
    Samuel Leicester baptism, 1684
    Samuel, the 8* great grandfather of Dave's daughter Judy, was baptised on 22 Mar 1685 at St Wilfrid Church, Davenham, Cheshire.

    The above image clearly shows the baptism taking place in 1684. However, by the old Julian calendar, the year 1684 started on 25 March 1684 and ended a year later on 24 March. Thus this baptism on 22 March took place in 1685 by today's Gregorian calendar.

    Thomas Leicester marriage to Eln Barker, 1680
    I think this is the only marriage image I have ever seen without the name of a bride. Tom and Eln married on 29 Jun 1680, probably in Davenham, Cheshire. The bride's name is not given here, but Boyd's index apparently has a marriage bond that names her.

    The entry here reads:
    "Thoma Lycester junior & L married by lycence from [Church?] June 29"

    The image is a negative, making it a little easier to read. It reads:
