♦i.e., Godmother to a child. The word is derived from "God," and "sib," [aldn). 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. 153.) The word occurs in Chaucer:—" Natbeles, 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 Melibseus.) 



+ " Paulsomeve." Tbis 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 tbe 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.,
