Notes regarding transcription

  • This transcription is taken from the excellent index transcribed by Samuel Margerison, between 1882-1887.
  • It has 2925 Baptism entries.
  • The transcription was done in EXCEL, and then translated into html for the web by Colin Hinson's software.
The heading format for the entries is as follows:
  • ID
    • This is the order that the entries were made in the original registers and each entry has been assigned it's own number. When the data is sorted using this heading, it will appear in the original order.
  • 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.
  • Comments
    • This heading is used for comments that appeared in the original transcriptions, though not the more weighty ones.
