Your thoughts please on this. My 4x grandfather John Pease is listed as Jnr on this parish marriage record in 1757 (I have the image) and also on the birth record of his children. |

Thanks for your thoughts - It is definately Jnr - John Pease Jnr on both records. I thought it might signify that his father had money and possibly help with the search. |

It usually means that the person's father has the same name (i.e. the father would be John Snr. and the son John Jnr.) |

Many thanks for your thoughts. I am cheered at the thought his father was still alive at the time of his marraige and hope that a visit to the Record Office next week may hold some answers. His land was leased from the Earl of Ailesbury so that may be worth following up |
