I wonder if anyone can help me with the meaning of M.N.T after my ancestors name on marriage details

The line reads
Samuel Rozee M.N.T Wea. & Sarah Amey S.

They were married on 22April 1735 in London at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney, Tower Hamlets, Middx

I believe that Samuel was a Huguenot and possibly a weaver hence the wea. abbreviation

Would appreciate any information
Thank you in advance
Jan

Pretty sure you're right with the Wea meaning Weaver.

The typed record says M.N.T. but looking at the original it is Samuel Rozee OF ------
(so where they were from) but can't decipher of where, not sure if MNT though (if it was ? Mile End New Town)

Yes - another of the original versions has MEN Towne so Mile End New Town

There are initials for such places as
MOT - Mile End Old Town
Wap - Wapping

Wow thank you all for such a fast reply.

Greyghost: Makes sense Mile End new town. There were several people with ‘ of MENT’ in their details

Rambling: I had not picked up that Samuel had married twice but think that is because l traced my ancestor to Sarah Rozee having the mother Sarah Amey

Thank you both
Jan
