NOTES:-
The Bishops Transcripts for this period are in poor
condition and very difficult to read, some being written in either court or
secretary hand where the formation of letters differs somewhat from that used
today. They are transcribed as written with many variations in the spelling of
names, even on the same line. There are some conventions however which are not
miss spelt names. examples:- ♦“y” is often used instead of “i” as in Wynsor/Winsor - Bryne/Brine - Collyns/Collins ♦“z” is often used instead of “s” as in Cozens/Cosens - Zeager/Seager ♦“e” is often added to the end of names and some letters repeated as in Bisshoppe for Bishop or Bartlette for Bartlet or Ffordington ♦“h” may have been omitted as in Tomas/Thomas or cristened/christened and particularly “is” for “his” in later years · ♦ ·“Ao Dm” is a Latin abbreviation for “Anno Domini” ; meaning “in the year of our Lord” · ♦ Most entries are preceded with the letters “Jbm”. The letter “j” is the same as “i” in Latin and this is an abbreviation for ibidem meaning “the same” ♦ Although many of the baptisms for this period appear in the IGI so far the temple has only cleared female baptisms [Feb 2007] so this listing is much more comprehensive · ♦ Readers are reminded that each year started on 25th March not the 1st January [ up until 1752] so January and February Christenings for example will appear at the end of the year |
