Talk:Ayscoghe Boucherett

Pronunciation
An indication as to the pronunciation of that rather strange name Ayscoghe would be most helpful and appreciated... --Terminally uncool (talk) 09:37, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I am guessing it would be pronounced kind of like Askew. Anne Askew's surname is sometimes spelled Ayscough. Björn Knutson (talk) 13:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * According to the UK National Archives, "Ayscoghe" is an alternative spelling of "Ayscough"., . According to Debrett's, Ayscough is pronounced "askew". , although doesn't indicate which syllable is accented. I suspect it's on the the first syllable. Voceditenore (talk) 16:33, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying that - if anyone is any good at IPA, it would be nice to have a pronounciation guide. By the way, I used the spelling with an 'e' because that is the one used in most modern works, including the History of Parliament. Do we think it's worth adding an alternative? Thanks again --Noswall59 (talk) 22:39, 19 May 2014 (UTC).
