EXPLANATORY NOTE.
The date given is that of baptism or marriage.
The first few pages are copied from the Register verbatim et
literatim.
The ensuing entries are abridged, the form being in most cases a
repetition of these specimens.
The baptisms and marriages are recorded in the Register in
parallel columns — and in the transcription the marriages are
placed month by month immediately after the baptisms.
Where no marriages are recorded for the month, this fact is
indicated.
The original spelling of surnames and place names is retained ;
but in the abridgement Christian names are modernised,
except that some of a peculiar nature are given as they
stand.
In the first few pages of the Register the record of marriages is
impaired by the outer edge of the page having been cut away.
It should be kept in mind that prior to 1600 the year is reckoned
from 25th March.
