Calverley Parish Registers, Burials 1596 to 1720

Notes regarding the transcription

• The transcription was done in EXCEL, and then translated into html for the web by Colin Hinson's software.

• Names
  • I resisted the urge to standardise the name spellings so the original spellings of all names has been preserved. The only change made to surnames was to change occurrences of surnames starting with ff to a single capital F.
  • It is interesting to see the evolution of some surnames throughout this relatively short period. It was possible for the same person to be born as Isacke Nailer, married as Isaack Nalor and buried as Isaac Naylor.
• Date
  • The date has been formatted as YYYY MM DD (eg 1623 04 29) rather than using the full dates. This is to comply with other, later databases and allows the data to be sorted by date. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the Gregorian calendar was not adopted until the middle of the 18th century, the New Year didn't start until late March. This meant that January 1720 comes after December 1720.
