Notes:
King Henry VIII reigned from 1509 to 1547, so the 15th year
of his reign would be 1523. This means that any dates given will be in the
old style (i.e. the first day of the year was March 25th).
Much use is
made in the original text of the "tilde" symbol (~) to indicate abreviations.
The tilde is used above the relevant characters, but as most modern fonts do
not contain the required characters (e.g. c tilde), in this transcription,
the tilde is placed after the character it was originally on top of.
In order to make the files a sensible size, the text surrounding the original
parish information is produced on this page, with the 4 wards of the city
of York, and the Ainsty parishes each having their own files as indicated
by the links below.
The text you see on these pages is all that there was
in the book - I have no more information on either the people or the original
documents.
The data is given here in good faith, but is not
guaranteed to be without errors, so if you spot any errors, please drop me a line
via the link at the bottom of the page.
