TOPSHAM 1841 CHURCHWARDEN'S CENSUS

S

Provided by Catriona Batty, of Topsham Museum,
and published with the permission of the Rev. Richard Jeffrey,
St Margaret's Church, Topsham

These are given in the order as in the original. Items that appear to have been added later (in 1842?), variously in pencil or ink in several hands after the original listing was completed, are indicated using italics.
Notes by the transcriber are enclosed in square brackets; question marks indicate uncertain transcriptions.
This transcription attempts to mirror the format of the original document - however for this to work properly, the pages must be read using a wide enough window for the font size that is being used, in order to avoid having the browser introduce additional line breaks.
