Thanks for the reply. Of couse, literacy is over rated. The final
abbreviation is Com. Lanc. I presume Lanc is Lancashire.
And I forgot to mention that Ald. Jere. was a girl.
Thanks again. This clears up a few things.

I've got a problem. I have a copy of Ducatus Leodiensis, which has a few
family trees I'm interested in. I need some help with the abbreviations.
For example, one person married Ald. Jere. Barstow of Leeds. ob s.p. 20 Aug
1742.
Does anyone know what s.p. stands for?
sine proele - without children
In some locations obt is before a
date, so I presume ob and obt are obituary, so I can use this as a death
date.
Does anyone know what Ald. Jere. would be short for? I know most name
abbreviatios, but these are new to me.
Perhaps Alderman Jeremiah
I also have a Mr Robt Jackson, Rector of Tatham, Com, Lane.
Does anyone know what Com. Lane. stands for?
