The Parish Registers of St. Martin, Coney Street, York: 1557-1812 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Parish Registers of St. Martin, Coney Street, York: 1557-1812 Book VI is a folio Marriage Register only, consisting of printed forms similar to Book IV. It is, however, much larger in size, measuring 19 x 13 inches, and contains four forms on a page. Out of 188 pages only 26 are used, in which are entered 102 Marriages, from 14th May, 1801, to 3oth November, 1812, after which a new and different style of book was adopted. Book VII (which completes the series here transcribed) is a Register of Baptisms and Burials, printed in the Statutory form. The Baptisms are placed at one end of the book and the Burials at the other. Columns are provided, in the former case for child's christian name and surname, father's name and parentage, mother's name and parentage, date of birth, and date of baptism - particulars which will rejoice the soul of the genealogist. The Baptisms entered are from August, 1806, to December, 1812. The Burial Register has also columns giving christian and surname, parentage, dates of death and burial and distemper, and the entries extend from 15th April, 1806, to 3lst December, 1811, when a new book was adopted, several leaves in the middle of this volume remaining unused. All the books are well preserved, and bound in substantial leather bindings. The best thanks of the Society are due to the Rev. George Trundle, m.a., the Vicar of the Parish, for permission to print the Registers, and also for his courtesy in giving every facility to the Editor for transcribing the books.
