Notes:-
Some Latin words or phrases are still in use. e.g. "Eodem die" meaning "the same day" which has been abbreviated here sometimes to "eode die". Also "vid" abbreviated from "vidua" meaning widow.

 It should be noted that Jone is a variant of Joan and much more common than Jane pre 1650 but it is often very difficult to tell the difference in old faded or damaged documents

 Readers are reminded that each year started on 25 th March not the 1 st January [ up until 1752] so January and February Christenings for example will appear at the end of the year

February 31 : Roger BUCK [BUCKE] [Note:- Married Margery VYNTON 4th May 1615 had at least 3 children]

[NOTE: In "William Whiteway of Dorchester, His Diary 1618-1635" published by the Dorset Record Society there is an entry under the date 22 June 1634 which states " Richard VEALE and his wife Mary bare penance openly for an obscene abuse offered to BUCKE of Fordington, who died shortly after it. She had been a month in Bridewell for it, and was well whipt there.

An account of this incident is given in “Fire from Heaven by David Underdown” Page 61 :-
"How much work was needed before Saten's grip could be loosened will be apparent if we look at an incident in March 1634.. It began hilariously, although if Whiteway is to be believed it did not end so. One Sunday evening a group of roisterers - Richard and Mary VEALE, the shoemaker Anthony PENNY, and young fellow from Fordington named Roger BUCK - called at the house of the Carpenter John WEIR, asking for food. Weir professed to have none to spare, but he and his wife, Joan, joined the party and they all went next door, where one of the butchering HAGGARDS, Walter, was a lodger. There was more drinking and merriment, and Haggard offered BUCK a halfpenny loaf if he would dance for them, which he promptly did, obviously far gone in drink. There are two versions of what happened next. According to one, after BUCK had eaten Haggard asked him 'if he was well provided' BUCK did not miss the double entendre, and according to Haggard he immediately 'showed forth his privy members'. In the other version someone - either Haggard or Penny - offered BUCK another loaf if he would expose himself. Both versions agree that BUCK quickly did so. However, the women complained that the room was too dark, and Joan WEIR held a candle close to BUCK so that everyone could see better. Alas the jest went horribly wrong. BUCK was burnt by the candle (none of those present admitted seeing it happen or hearing him cry out), and he died a few weeks later. It was never proved, apparently, that his death was caused by the burn: none of the perpetrators were charged with anything more serious than lewd carriage'. Mar Veale spent a month in the workhouse for it, and Whiteway says 'she was well whipped there' , she and her husband also had to do penance after sentence in the ecclesiastical courts, presumably the others received similar punishment."
