The Registers of Winestead, in Holderness, date from 1578. They are contained in three Books. 1. The first is of parchment, and contains thirty folios, besides the fly-leaf. It measures 12 inches in length by 74 inches in width, and is in good preservation, though the ink of the earliest entries is in several places very faded, and the writing difficult to decipher. The entries have been originally begun in three different places-for baptisms, marriages, and burials respectively-but the intervening pages have been filled up without any apparent method, and the order is consequently most irregular. A key has therefore been supplied in the present work, to enable the entries of any particular year to be found readily. This Book covers the years from 1578 to 1719.

2. The second Book is also of parchment, bound in leather, and measures 16 inches by 6f. It contains the baptisms and burials from 1721 to 1812, and marriages from 1720 to 1754. It consists of twenty-two folios, four of which are terriers and deeds, and three are blank.

3. The third Book is of paper, bound in millboard, and measures 15¼ inches by 9¾ inches. It contains the marriages from 1755 to 1812, written upon eight folios.

All the volumes are in good condition, and do not appear to have suffered from damp. Nor does there seem to have been any mutilation of any of the entries, though in three places in Book I., on fos. i.-ii., 14 and 30-30b, and once in Book II., on fo. 20, a part of a page has been cut off. From 1695 till 1710, in the case of marriages and burials, these Registers were kept in duplicate; whilst from 1695 to 1703 the births are entered as well as the baptisms, and from 1703 to 1713 there are duplicate entries of baptism. The differences which occur in the duplicate entries, which are very slight, have been given in brackets. In all cases, except where the spelling is unusual, the words " baptised," " married," and " buried," have been contracted in printing the Registers.

In Book II. it has been thought well, in the case of the mention of illegitimate children, to omit the parent's name ; but to give the entry under the Christian name of the child, as affording data as to the condition of morals at the time.

The Registers have been transcribed by the Rector, and the printed copy carefully collated with the original by Mr. J. R. BOYLE, F.S.A., to whom his thanks are due.
