Handwriting one!

[AInightingale]

Hopefully this image will post. I can't read the column heading after 'Rel', can anyone make out the words above 'June 29'?
The columns read l-r: Name, Adm(ission), Conf(inement) Age, ????, Reputed Father and Child's Name. It is part of the record of a birth in a M&B home in N Ireland, 1935, I have scored through the names.

I'm struggling with this but in light of no other suggestions......

Could it be 'Ref' - Reference? Or 'Rel' - Relationship?

The next words look like 'Find Me Disc'? or 'Find in Dioc' - Could that be related to a Church Diocese?

Not sure any of that is helpful.

Are you tracing your family history?

Oh and the column after 'Age' I think is 'Religion' which says CI (I am guessing, they were COI.)

Yes I am tracing my family history. This was my father/grandmother/ 'reputed' grandfather.

Could it be 'Found in Dioc'?

Do you have other pages? Or know what is in that column on other pages?

I think that last word is Dioc short for diocese

The first letter is L. I think it says Last In Dioc. The text below is clearly a date. So perhaps the last time they were either diocese or diocesan home or something like that?

Definitely 'last' something but thinking it might relate to a medical examination of some sort? (Either of mother or child.) Maybe the archivists who provided the record would know. He was 'boarded out' in May 1935, ie fostered, and she went away elsewhere in the UK shortly after that; she was not allowed to keep him as unmarried. Very sad when you see it written down like that.

‘Disc’ is likely to be Discharged, as the counterpoint to Adm for Admission

'Last in ??' could it be the name of the home?

'Last time disc' - Last time discharged; that could be it?

I think the Adm column is the date the mother was admitted.
The confinement of Ap 9 may be the baby's due date or the confinement to ward for baby's delivery and the final date of June 29 is 3 months after admission and may read 'List or last for disc' (list for discharge) for the mother to be discharged and return home.

It is heartbreaking to read that these things happened 💔

I am so grateful to my grandparents for adopting him and that he had no recollection of any of it.

There is a 'risk to life' entry on his records where he had to be taken off a foster mother because she was so bloody awful! How was that ever viewed as an improvement on his actual mum, who was a trainee nurse!

The next foster mother was my granny, who was a childless married woman who ended up adopting him. 🥰

First word first letter definitely an L. Not 'LIst' - there's no dot on the i and the letter is too long. Could be a poorly-formed a. The final letter is a taller one, so has to be a t, l or d. Last seems most likely.

Second word I'd need some more capital letters to compare - could start with an F or an I. Could end in an m or an n - or almost anything else. That sort of scribble could well be an abbreviation

Last word 'Disc' or 'Dist', with the latter more likely - like the first word the final letter is a bit taller than the others, so an uncrossed t is more likely than a c.

Are all the entries in that column dates? And if so, is there a consistent relationship between those dates and the confinement date or any other date in other columns?

Can you get hold of another page from the same register? Or another volume. It might be written more clearly there.

I think it’s the discharge date?

Second word might be "for" so - "L* For Disc(harge)"?

Last for discharge? Could that make sense - suggest either the mother or baby is kept three months, maximum, before discharge.

Is there any date that shows when the entry was made?

The second word looks like it starts with an M, compared to the way Mrs and march are written

Last m(edical) discharge?

Unfortunately, the rest of the register is 'blocked out', to protect the identity of other people on it.

He was given to a local foster mother (boarded out) in May and his mother left Ireland shortly afterwards and went to an address in England, so it probably does refer to a final examination and discharge of mother, baby or both.

Could it be in Latin? A lot if medical terms were Latin.

Not sure of first word but M Disc would be when the mother was discharged maybe

Sorry, just a bit late!

I think I would ask the person/organisation who supplied you with the copy.

The heading may be clearer on other pages.
