This 1612 marriage record from Leyden is for my 10x great-grandparents George Morton and Juliana Carpenter, both born in England. Sadly, my Dutch is limited to guessing based on my poor German, and this handwriting is a challenge!

Can anyone translate this?

    I've sent it off to my Dutch uncle. Although he has left Holland over 50 years ago, he remains fluent in the language. Hopefully he will be able to help. I'll advise as soon as I hear from him. (I'm currently away on vacation).

  • It will be interesting to compare original Dutch text to the scan... Could you provide it in the question?
