Tim, what is the source of the text in the first post?

[Elaine ..Spain]

Ignore that Tim, think I have found it - Crockfords Clerical Directory
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=H...Turgis&f=false

[Elaine ..Spain]

Not sure if this list of abbreviations will help at all?

As this is from Crockfrds I would say the deac stands for deacon and pr for priest - the dates being when he was ordained.
