County: Shropshire... Parish: Acton Burnell... Date: 4th February 1573... Year: 1573...

Parish Records Burials

Note: this Burial could also go with Roger born 1572 in Acton Burnell. If so then other records won’t fit as there would be no apprpriate Roger to be the father of the children listed for him. As this is the only Roger that this could go with at this point, I guess we’ll assume he lived to a ripe onld age.

Dimissorial letters [in Latin, litterae dimissoriae] are testimonial letters given by a bishop or by a competent religious superior to his subjects in order that they may be ordained by another bishop. Such letters testify that the subject has all the qualities demanded by canon law for the reception of the order in question, and request the bishop to whom they are addressed to ordain him.

An acolyte is an assistant or follower assisting the celebrant in a religious service or procession. In many Christian denominations, an acolyte is anyone who performs ceremonial duties such as lighting altar candles. In others, the term is used for one who has been inducted into a particular liturgical ministry, even when not performing those duties.
