Source=h:/!Genuki/RecordTranscriptions/ERY/SettringtonParishRegs.txt THE REGISTERS OF SETTRINGTON.

The parish of Settrington lies in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in the Deanery of Buckrose, and the village is distant four miles from Malton.

The Settrington Registers commence, nominally, in the year 1560, but it is the marriages only that begin in that year ; the baptisms and burials date from October in the preceding year, 1559. They are in fair condition and contain but few difficulties; there is, however, a gap of ten years in the burials, between August 24th, 1678, and March 30th, 1688 ; and in the marriages of thirteen years, between January 28th, 1715, and February 16th, 1728, one leaf which should contain the marriages between these dates is missing.

Volume I. contains the baptisms and burials from October, 1559, to November, 1653, and the marriages from October, 1560, to October, 1652.

In Volume II. the marriages commence in December, 1653, and terminate in April, 1688. The births, which from March, 1660, are continued as baptisms, date from November, 1653, to June, 1687, and the burials from October, 1653 to August 1678. - It is here that the gap mentioned above exists.

Volume III. commences with the burials, which extend from 1688 to 1757. The baptisms and marriages, which in the earlier part of this volume are somewhat mixed up, commence in 1689, the former terminate in 1757, and the latter in 1754. - It is in this volume that there is one leaf missing which is alluded to above.

The marriages from May, 1754 to December, 1812, are continued in the usual printed paper volume, issued, by Act, for that purpose, and which, as it is unnumbered, is here numbered Volume IV.-1 for convenience. The baptisms and burials are continued in a parchment volume herein numbered Vol. IV. - -2 ; the former run from May, 1757, to December, 1812, and the latter from April, 1757, to July, 1812.

The Society has to thank the Rector, the Rev. Arthur Johnson, for allowing this Register to be transcribed and printed. F. C.
