Miscellaneous entries in the Parish Registers.
THE REGISTERS OF ST. CRUX YORK.
PART I.
(1539 1716).
TRANSCRIBED AND EDITED BY
THE LATE R. BEILBY COOK AND
MRS. F. HARRISON.
1922.
PREFACE.
The death of Mr. R. Beilby Cook when he was in the midst of the work
of transcribing this register interrupted what to him was a labour of love.
and made it necessary for another to finish what he had begun. The
pursuit of antiquarian research in Yorkshire has been rendered more
difficult by the passing of one who did much out of a large-hearted devotion
to the cause for which the Yorkshire Parish Register Society stands.
The present volume is a transcription of the First Volume, and part
of the Second Volume, of the Register of St. Crux, York, a church which
stood at the South End of the Shambles, and was demolished about 30
years ago. The First Volume measures 11" by 8" by ii-", and contains
about 120 sheets of parchment. The binding has disappeared. With the
exception of the outside pages, a few at each end, which are somewhat
soiled, the register is in good condition, and has presented to the
transcribers very few difficulties. This First Volume contains the
entries of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials from 1539 - a very early
date - until 1677.
The Second Volume measures 14½" by 7½ by 1½. It contains 68
stout parchment sheets, just over 13 of which are included in the present
printed volume. Unfortunately, the thick leather-covered cardboard
backs of this Second Volume are loose, and the parchment sheets are in
need of being re-bound. In both volumes the Baptisms for the whole
period covered by them come first, and are separate from the Marriages
and the Burials. The Second Volume contains the following :-
BAPTISMS, 1678 to 1751.
MARRIAGES, 1737 to 1751.
BURIALS, 1678 to 1751.
MARRIAGES, 1678 to 1737.
Evidently the entries of Marriages from 1737 to 1751 were made
where they are because the end of the book was reached in the year 1737.
the remaining entries were made on the pages allowed for possible Baptisms
earlier in the book.
The transcriber expresses her grateful thanks to the Rev. Canon
Watson, Vicar of All Saints' with St. Crux, York, and Canon-Residentiary
of York, for his kindness in allowing her to have the registers at her home
while she was transcribing them. But for this act of trust she would have
been unable to continue Mr. Cook's work.
The remainder of the Registers will be issued in another Volume in
the present series, containing the Index to both.
