Spurs?

[kiterunner]

I've come across a couple of baptism transcriptions on Lancashire OPC which say "Notes: (Spurs)". Does this mean anything, or can I take it that it's a mistranscription of Spins (short for Spinster)? In both cases there is only a mother's name, no father.

Spurious, in other words illegitimate.

Those vicars were a real Christian lot weren't they??????????

[Olde Crone]

Oh Libby, I always think spurious is quite a nice way of saying b*st*rd!
