Source=h:/!Genuki/RecordTranscriptions/ERY/CherryBurtonParishRegs.txt THE REGISTERS OF CHERRY BURTON.
1902. THE REGISTERS of the Parish Church of Cherry Burton are con- tained in several books. The present volume contains the first and second books.

The first book contains entries dating from 1561, copied from an older Register (which unfortunately seems to have been lost), as appears from the following heading at the beginning of the book :- "The Register Booke of North Burton, Alias Cherry Burton. "Transcribed according to the olde Booke, Anno Dorn. 1647, Regis "Caroli xxiii."

On the last page we read : "This Register booke was belonging "to Mr. Thomas Micclethwayt, & was most of it transcribed out of "ye old Register by Nicholas Pearson," &c. &c., but it is evident, by the various styles of handwriting, that Nicholas Pearson transcribed only part. The book measures 12 by 7 inches, and is bound in rough leather and stamped:-

It consists of 52 parchment leaves, numbered ; about six and a half pages are blank, and part of the last leaf has been removed. Three pages are in a very dilapidated condition, the ink having almost disappeared, hut the impression of the ink has remaincd, and with the aid of a magnifying glass much has been deciphered. It will be noticed that the Baptisms bctween 160.1-1612 are missing. This Register contains some interesting notes, a list of those who "tooke the Scottish Covenant under Mr. Micethwayte," in 1686, and a list of the " Ancicnt Familyes of Cherryburton," compiled by the Rector in 1683.

The transcribed entries of Births, Marriages, and Burials are continued respectively to 1688, 1705, and 1683, but as these are in duplicate, and contained in the sccond book, it was considered unnecessary to print them, but any material difference between the two entries is contained in brackets.

The second book measures 15 by 6 inches, and is bound in rough leather, stiff covers, and consists of 34 paper pages and 44 parchment pages, several of which are blank. The book is closed with tape tags in the place of clasps, and on the outside of the cover is a red label, embossed in gilt letters:-

and is in an excellent state of preservation, but the writing in places is very bad. It gives the impression that the book originally belonged either to the " Register" appointed by the Parish, or to some person appointed to collect the taxes, &c., as the paper leaves contain an account of the collections made for different objects, various payments made, and also all the burials in woollen. On one leaf at the beginning of the book is written, " Henry Gayton his Hooke." The parchment leaves (which are slightly smaller than the paper leaves) are bound at the end of the book, a few paper leaves remaining.

This Register has been exhibited several times in Court (vide notes at the end of the book), and is an example of the value of these parish records as evidence in legal proceedings.

The thanks of the Society are due to the Vicar (the Reverend Bramwell Burton) for his kindness in allowing the transcription to be made and printed.
