Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Register of the Parish Church of Garforth, Co; York: 1631-1812 This volume contains a copy of the Register Books of the Parish Church of St. Mary, Garforth, near Leeds, from the commencement in the year 1663 to the year 1812. The only transcripts now extant at the Archbishop's Registry at York prior to 1663 are also printed. They comprise the years 1631, 1632, 1633, 1634, 1636, 1637, 1638, and 1639 (O.S.). If the transcripts had been tabulated and arranged in parishes instead of in yearly bundles without any order, it would have been possible to have checked more entries in the defective portions of the Register books with them, without the loss of much time. Although the visitation fee was and still is paid for (inter alia) the tabulating of transcripts, no such tabulation has apparently taken place. The years 1672, 1704, 1705, 1706, 1709, 1710, 1711, and 1715 have also been compared with the transcripts, and numerous illegible entries have been recovered. From the above remarks and the many entries in this volume which are either doubtful or illegible, it will be observed that portions of the first book are in very bad condition, especially the burials, several pages of which are almost entirely indecipherable. Among the families of note mentioned in the Register are those of Ingram, Layton, Lowther, Wighton, and Witham. The thanks of the Society are due to the late Rector, the Rev. Robert Crone Wilford, M.A., for kindly allowing the Register to be printed, and for the facilities most willingly afforded for transcribing and collating.
