Notes regarding transcription
- This transcription is taken from the excellent index transcribed by Samuel Margerison, between 1882-1887.
- It has 2156 Marriage entries.
- The transcription was done in EXCEL, and then translated into html for the web by Colin Hinson's software.
The heading format for the entries is as follows:
- ID
- This is the order that the entries were made in the original
registers and each entry has been assigned it's own number. When the
data is sorted using this heading, it will appear in the original order.
- Date
- The date has been formatted as YYYY MM DD (eg 1623 04 29) rather
than using the full dates. This is to comply with other, later databases
and allows the data to be sorted by date. Unfortunately, due to the fact
that the Gregorian calendar was not adopted until the middle of the 18th
century, the New Year didn't start until late March. This meant that January
1720 comes after December 1720. For sorting purposes then, the date cannot be
used. Using the ORDER heading will sort the entries chronologically.
Groom's Surname
I resisted the urge to standardise the name spellings so the original spellings
of all names has been preserved. The only change made to surnames was to change
occurrences of surnames starting with ff to a single capital F.
It is interesting to see the evolution of some surnames throughout this relatively
short period. It was possible for the same person to be born as Isacke Nailer,
married as Isaack Nalor and buried as Isaac Naylor.
- Groom's Forename
- The only changes made here is to give the full forename where there was an
abbreviated version that wasn't ambiguous (eg Saml. = Samuel).
- Groom's Parish or Abode
- Before 1689, the parish or abode wasn't mentioned at all, then the parish of
both bride and groom were entered. During 1705 - 6, the parish gradually gave
way to the actual village of the groom, much more useful in ascertaining surname
distribution throughout the villages of the parish. Unfortunately, the bride's
abode was only rarely stated.
Note that entries 'Calverley' before 1706 refer to the parish while those after
that date refer to the actual village.
- Bride's Surname
- Bride's forename
- Bride's Parish
- Comments
- This heading is used for comments that appeared in the original transcriptions,
though not the more weighty ones. I have also put under some surname spelling alternatives.
