I am transcrbing Latin burial records and have come across the above name as husband of a deceased wife. Can anyone suggest what this should be in English
Tony

Salt = Salis

Willow = Salix

not a lot of help I suspect ;-)

With a grain of salt is a translation of Latin cum grano salis

Hi Slowhands
Knew it meant Salt but hardly think this was his name, also aware of Salix as I am a Horticulturist. But thanks for the thought.

Tony

what is the context/other words of the record?

Could it be Silas rather than Salis, perhaps?

Silas / Silvanus -- of the woods ( very good !)

I'd love to see a scan of the Record

Quite definitely Salis

Context Ruth wife of Salis Paine buried 3rd day month April

The conclusion was that it was "Samlis" and later context resolved this as Samuel
