Default Dosheth

Has anyone heard of this as a girl's name?

Eastwood

It's on the right hand page, second entry for christenings in February. It has been transcribed as Elizabeth but it doesn't look like it to me.

Surname is Eastwood, father Richard.

She is the only Dosheth who comes up on an ancestry search, but it certainly does look like that on the image.

Under the BT's on FMP it looks pretty much the same, and again
she is the only Dosh?th to come up with that first name on all of FMP.

Ooh, that's good! It's always helpful when the BTs are in another hand.

Whoever recorded the baptisms allowed Nancy and Mally, Sally etc so presumably was happy with any name, no matter how obscure.

I wonder how she was married/buried?

Is it my imagination, or is there a whitish blob over the letters o and s? If there is, I don't know how that helps, but...

I see what you see, OC, but it's only on FMP's BT which is a damaged mess overall, while Ancestry's parish register is pristine.

Ah right, thankyou Janet.


I shall spend the rest of the evening muttering Dosheth to myself in various regional accents both real and imaginary, to try to work out what they meant!

Lol!

Doing a sort of Mummerset accent, I can come up with Dorcas.

No, talk louder. I can't hear if you mutter softly.

It's a start. Thank you. Not sure I have a Dorcas in my tree. New, real, names are always good.

Ancestry transcribed her as Elizabeth and I spent way too long enlarging and shrinking the page and turning my head from side to side to try and work it out. Apparently ending in 'eth' means Elizabeth.

I googled Dosheth and it comes up with a biblical reference in an old bible but it is OCR and there are ink blots on the page so I don't know what it is meant to actually read.
