    This is from a marriage in Norwich (St John de Sepulchre) 1715

    I have an Owen Plumstead with wife Judith baptising children in Norwich 1715-1724.

    I think this is the marriage

    Owing Plumstid to Judah ?? Anc have it as Waber, but I am not convinced

    And what do you make of this bride's name? - first name Martha at Norwich St George Tombland St Simon and St Jude in 1677 groom Augustine/o Plumstead
    FMP has it as Mieleborough (definitely starts with M and ends in borough)

    The first appears to be Waberg, but I have some doubt!
    The second is almost certainly Micleborough.

    This image splits her name over 2 lines.

    In this entry I read Mickleborough so Micleborough is what I think it says in your post #2

    I would also say it is an 'e' rather than an 'o' at the end of Augustine's name. It is the same character as the 'e' in Mickl'e'borough, and the same characters as the e's in 'were'

    Micleborough was my thought and the image above confirms it - thank for finding that one @Chimp

    I am off to see if I can find a Judith Wabe

    I think it's Wabe too, the upload_2021-5-4_20-2-31.png bit at the end of the name appears on almost all marriages on that page.

    The way this guy writes his e's in those names that have them is the same as the character over the 'y' so a 'y' with an 'e' over it. Probably means something to someone but it's flummoxed me.

    No sign of Judith Wabe born c1695 so far.

    Chimp that Y with the superscript 'e' is 'ye' - so ye 17th day etc.

    Ah so 'the' as the y was to replace the old 'thorn' character.

    upload_2021-5-4_20-13-49.png it was pronounced 'th'
