The Protestation, a form of oath of loyalty, was introduced in the House of Commons 1641 to determine the number of Roman Catholics in England.  The oath was taken by the Members of Parliament and peers and then instructions were given for all English adult males to take the oath.    In effect this is a male census for all aged 18 years & over who were residents of Normanton on Soar in 1641/42,  just prior to the Civil War.

Protestation Returns March 1641/42

The returns for the Rushcliffe Hundred which included Normanton Upon Soar were submitted

by Isham Parkyns and Gervas Pigot at Nottingham on 22 March 1642.

Any two comprising the Minister, churchwardens and overseers of the poor for each parish were

instructed to witness all males of the age of 18 years and over, who were all required to make their

protestation, together with the names of any who refused.
