The Barnstaple Parish Register [1539-1837]

Trans. Devon. Assoc. 27, (1895) pp. 362-373.

by

Joseph Harper

Prepared by Michael Steer

Harper's paper, read at the Association's 1895 Okehampton meeting is basically a statistical exploration of the Barnstaple Parish Register over a 300 year period; until the Act for the compulsory registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths was passed in 1837. Also included are registration data from nearby Pilton (1570-1829) and Fremington (1610-1829). The author particularly focuses on the devastating impact of epidemics and plague during the period.
