*i.e., Godmother to a child. The word is derived from “God,” and ‘‘sib,’’ (akin). The belief 
was, that by contracting spiritual obligations to a child they became ‘‘sib,” or ‘akin in God,’”’ to 
one another. (See Trench’s English, p. 155.) The word occurs in Chaucer :—‘‘ Natheles, your kin- 
drede is but a fer (distant) kindrede ; they be but litle sibbe to you, and the kin of youre enemies 
be nigh sibbe to them. (Tale of Melibeus. ) 
+‘ Paulsomeve.” This name, so spelt in the original, is a corruption of “‘ Palmson-Eve,” and 
means a payment of certain money annually on Palm Sunday Eve, not (as might have been expected 
from the name) to the Ecclesiastical but to the Civil authorities at Bradford. The origin of this 
payment is unknown. See Rev. W, H. Jones’s History of Bradford-on-Avon. Wilts Arch, Mag.,
