Baptism record 1790

Original text (latin)
19a Baptizatus est rosalia de clerck fa antoni huius et barbara theresia verschuere ex ingelmunster coniugum hic habitans, nata est hodie circa 7a mane.
Susceptores sunt guillelmus van torre ex isaghem et theresia rosseel ex ingelmunster.
Translation (English)
19a Baptized is Rosalia De Clerck daughter of Antoon from here and Barbara Theresia Verschuere of Ingelmunster spouses residing here, born today around 7 in the morning.
Sponsors are Willem van Torre of Iseghem and Theresia Rosseel of Ingelmunster.
Note
Only the day (19th) is written in the body of this entry, which is typical of records of this time period. The year is entered only at the beginning of a new year and the month heads up all the enteries for a particular month. In this case it is April 1790. Also, I have capitalized only where the priest did so in the actual record. Again, it is typical of this time period not to capitalized proper names and places.
