Could someone with FMP

[Kit]

please look up this record and tell me what the crossed out thing next to the baptism for Charles Edward Trevelyan Dixon says?

Dixon Baptism (http://search.findmypast.com/record?id=s2%2fgbprs%2fleics%2f102180858%2f00095&parentid=gbprs%2fleics%2fbap%2f00409981&highlights=%22%22)

I've just realised the father is the minister. You think he'd get his own child correct lol

[Merry]

But he doesn't want you to read it because he crossed it through!! lol :cool:

The middle line reads "Charles Edward" (in inverted commas), and I feel I should be able to read the top line as it doesn't look difficult, but it's not happening at the moment. The bottom line might be obvious if I could read the top line!

[Oakum Picker]

Pretty sure the first word is 'Publicly'. The 2nd looks like it ends in '---ictured

[kiterunner]

The first word is Publicly.
(edit - snap, Glen!)

[kiterunner]

And the second word must be "registered".

[kiterunner]

But he is on FreeBMD as Charles Edward T Dixon, so the note must have been wrong (hence it being crossed out), or they managed to go back and get the registration corrected very quickly?

[kiterunner]

Could the beginning of the last line be C'tified and then somebody's signature?

[Oakum Picker]

He did the same for a child on the previous page which was correct. That is at least legible. He obviously thought the same had happened to the 2nd child & then scrubbed it out when he realised he was in error.

Whilst I'm here may I recommend that all those with Leicestershire interests or any databases where the originals are shown, take time to browse - you'll be amazed at what you might find.

Thanks everyone. He did do similar for another child but didn't cross it out. The birth cert was missing one of the child's baptised middle names.

What Kite thinks is the signature may well be JMurray Dixon as the Murray bit at least looks like his signature on the other side of the page.

Even with your deciphering I still can't work it out. He did a good job striking it out.
