Help needed reading parish record

[Terri]

Please could someone look down to January 1750, Edward Holybone, and work out what the words next to his name are.

Thanks.

I was stumped, Terri, but the vicar is using some Latin so I looked up the word.

The closest I could find was "laqueus" which means noose, snare, halter or trap.
I don't know about the second word.

I'm not sure whether this is relevant, though!

Terri,

I wish I could help. It LOOKs like laquero so susp (or suss that could be an old double ss written like a B). It would help if we knew what it was meant to say!

I hope someone better informed or more able to decipher can help you.

Looks like "laqueo se susp" which Google suggests is short for "laqueo se suspendit" and means that he hanged himself.

Oooooh!!!!

Thank you ladies! That's "interesting" then!! A bit unexpected!
There have been random bits of Latin among these records, but I managed to work out the others.

I just love old parish registers! You never know what you will find next.

At present I'm hooked on transcribing Cornish wills for my parish and I've done quite a few now so I have been doing trees for various names, with the result that they are beginning to interconnect nicely.

I'm doing a large village/small town - being quite convinced half my ancestors are connected there. Amazing what you find.

Slightly mystified and amused as to why various ladies have ladies have "virgin" on their burial records. Unmarried might be more polite .... and accurate!

Well done, Kite Runner!

Is he anything to do with the Edward Hollybone who becomes keeper of the new prison at Clerkenwell 6 December 1750, but is dead by 15 January?

That's interesting! All I know of him thus far is that he is married to Mary, and had two children in Esher, Surrey in 1730 and 1739, and he was buried in Esher on 17th January 1751 (that's 1751 in the new calendar, but would have been 1750 at the time). The dates fit very nicely!
