Hi I did a search on the LDS site for the marriage of William Grundy in Derbyshire between 1715 and 1735 with the Spouse’s first name of Elizabeth. It returned, along with one other, GULIELMUS Grundy 16/7/1715 Baslow, Derby Baslow and the date are just what I am looking for, but the name?????? I am thinking that maybe its Latin for William. Does anyone know please? Gerry :-))

Clare, the LDS site is Familysearch.org by another name, as it is hosted by the Church of the Latter Day Saints (the Mormon church)
