Book excerpt: Excerpt from Worcestershire Parish Registers, Vol. 2: Marriages A long interval, which the Editor greatly regrets, has elapsed since the first volume of Worcestershire Parish Registers was printed in this series, a delay caused by a variety of reasons, an important one being the absence of sufficient local help in the transcriptions of the Registers, But it may be hoped that the appearance of the present volume will stimulate a renewed interest in the subject in Worcestershire, and that it will be possible for the future to issue at least one volume annually. It may be mentioned that in some counties as many as two volumes of Registers have been issued in each year. In the previous volume twelve Registers were in cluded, of which six dated from the sixteenth century; the present one contains seventeen Registers, and of these nine commence at the same early period; three of them being dated 1539, the year after Parish Registers were directed to be kept by the order of Thomas, Lord Cromwell. Four belong to the seventeenth century, and one does not begin till the late date of 1713. It may be convenient to repeat here the names of the parishes which were included in the first volume.
