Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Registers of Banstead, Co; Surrey The Transcripts now published are contained in the first two volumes of the Registers, and date from their commencement in 1547 down to the following dates: Baptisms, to 1750; Marriages, to 1753; Burials, to 1789. The first volume is a small vellum-bound book, in poor con dition, the writing very much faded, and occasionally illegible. It measures about 84} x 7% inches, and contains entries from 1547 to 1618. Volume II. Is a thick square volume, about 14 inches square, bound in old sheepskin with clasps. It contains Baptisms, 1620-1783; Marriages, 1616-1753; and Burials, 1617 1789. The entries are often carelessly and ignorantly made, and in many instances the original entry has been corrected or added to in another hand. It appears to have been a common practice for the Clerk to make rough notes at the time of the ceremony, filling them into the Register Book at a later date, and this practice will account for the dates of the entries not always following one another chronologically. The Editor has some of these rough notes among his papers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
