PREFACE.

In this second volume of Leicestershire Parish Registers twelve Marriage Registers are given, and the subscribers will be glad to know that sufficient material is in hand for another volume, which it is hoped may be issued in the early autumn. This volume will contain the large and important register of , which includes the entries of several adjoining villages and hamlets. The Editors aim at supplying the subscribers with two volumes yearly, as it is only thus that continuous and satisfactory progress can be made in the work of printing Leicestershire Registers. 1379155 The Editors have to acknowledge valuable help in the work of transcription given by Miss Lilian Wright, the Revs. T. C. Hughes and G. E. Britten, Mr. Thomas Randall, Mr. Henry Hartopp, and Mr. Matthew Pearson. As before, the clergy have willingly facilitated the tran- scription of the Registers, and the thanks of all are due to them. Their names are mentioned under the respective

As before, the entries have been reduced to a common form, and the following abbreviations used :

w. = widower or widow. s.=spinster, single woman, or son of. b.=bachelor or single man. d.=daughter of. p.=of the parish of. dioc.=in the diocese of.

co.=in the county o

lie. = marriage licence. The reader must, of course, remember that these printed abstracts of marriage registers are not " evidence " in the technical sense. Certified extracts must still be obtained when evidence of a marriage is required for proving a pedigree in a court of law, or when registering it at Heralds' College. For such certificates application must be made to the clergy in charge of the original registers.

It should be borne in mind that previous to 1752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th of March, instead of the ist of January, so that a marriage taking place on say 20th Feb., 1625, would be on that date in 1626 according to our reckoning ; but as the civil and ecclesiastical year were both used this is sometimes expressed by 20th Feb., i62|.

In all cases where the marriage is stated to have taken place by Licence that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to the age, parentage and vocation of the parties is probably recoverable from the Allegations in the Archdeaconry or other office from which the Licence was issued.

It only remains to say that the Editors will gladly welcome further help in the work of transcribing registers.

Note.—The whole of the registers of Ab-Kettleby-cum-Holwell previous to 1813 are contained in two volumes, of which the first is a parch- ment bound book consisting of 75 leaves, the fly-leaf and next 43 leaves measuring 15^ by 5^ inches, and the remainder of varying length by the same width. The last two leaves are blank. The whole volume contains entries of Baptisms and Burials from 1580 to 1812, and of Marriages from 1580 to 1753. The second volume contains Marriages only, from 1754 to 1812. These Marriages have been transcribed by the Vicar, the Rev. T. C. Hughes, with the assistance of Mr. T. M. Blagg for the earlier portion, and they are now printed under their joint supervision.

Note.—Vol. I. consists of 67 leaves of parchment, measuring 14^ by 5^ Burials inches, and contains Marriages to 1754 ; Baptisms and to 1781. With the exception of breaks between the years 1560 and 1564, and 1564 and 1572, which were undoubtedly missing when transcribed into the present register in 1599, there is a continuous record from the commencement unto the present time. This village suffered from the pestilence, so called, in 1610, there being 49 Burials during the months of April, May, June and July, the previous and following years being 8 and 6 Burials respec- tively.

Marriages at Frisby=on=the=Wreak,

1659 to 1837.

Note.—Volume I., 1659-1754. This is a folio Volume, measuring i6J ins. by II ins., and consists of 41 leaves of parchment (though there are signs that some leaves at the end have been cut out), bound in full rough calf, in good condition. On the inside of the back cover is fastened by sealing-wax a piece of parchment on which is written a copy of the will of Henry Lockett of this town, 1790, with bequests to the people of Frisby. The Marriages, Baptisms, and Burials all begin in 1659 and are entered together up to the year 1754, and occupy 49 pages. Then follow Baptisms and Burials up to the year 1812, which occupy 32 pages, and the succeeding pages have been cut out.

Volume II.. 1754-1792. This is the usual printed Marriage register on paper, bound in full rough calf, and consists of 50 pages, which are all filled] up, and 19 pages of Banns, of which only 11 are used, and those irregularly. It contains 195 certificates. The number of Marriages during this time is totally disproportionate to the population.

Volume III., 1792-1812. This is of the same size and binding as the last, and consists of 92 pages of Banns, of which only nine are used, and 92 pages of Marriages, of which only 20 pages are used. Volume IV., 1812-1837. This is bound in parchment, and con- sists of 100 pages, of which 20 are used.

From 1777 to 1790 it will be noticed that the marriages average ten a year, instead of only three or four. During this period the Rev.

Wm. Brecknock Wragge was Vicar, and it will be noticed that a large proportion of the marriages were those of persons from other and often distant parishes. The number of irregular marriages at this time earned for Frisby a " Gretna Green " notoriety, and tradition goes so far as to say that at least one couple were married in the parlour of the village inn. Mr. Wragge was eventually suspended " from the living—and it is said " banished to Ireland (see Nicholls' Leicestershire.) The most romantic feature of the Frisby Registers is the follow-

ing words, scribbled on the fly-leaf of Vol. II : " from Miss Vanhomrigh S Dr. Swift declaring her passion for him and complaing [s/c] of his neglect of her

believe me it is with him." 70 Leicestershire Parish Registers. [1659

The mother of the celebrated and witty Dean Swift was Abigail Herrick, or Errick, sister of the Rev. Thos. Errick, Vicar of Frisby. A family named Swift was resident in Frisby, as appears by the

Registers, in the 17th and i8th centuries, and it seems probable that the Dean's father came of this stock and that while living at, or visiting his relatives in, Frisby he fell in love with the vicar's sister whom he married about two years after her brother's institution to the living. Thomas Errick died in i68i and the Dean's mother in both buried, at Leicester. not know that the 17 ID ; are As we do Dean became acquainted with Mrs. Vanhomrigh, the widow of a

Dutch merchant, before 1708, it is improbable that this mysterious note in the Frisby registers was penned by one of the Krricks, but whoever wrote, and whatever they meant by it —and its meaning is by no means clear—this mysterious allusion to the renowned " Vanessa " in the registers of the parish with which the author of " Gulliver's Travels " was so closely connected, has a romantic interest for the student of English literary history. These extracts have been made by Miss Lilian Wright by leave of the Rev. T. Wright, Vicar of Frisby, and are now printed under his supervision after collation of the proof with the Register.

Marriages at Ragdale,

1668 to 1837.

Note.—Volume I., 1668-1754. This is a small thin quarto volume bound in parchment. It consists of ten leaves of parchment in fair condition, though in places the names are almost obliterated. On the cover is written in ink "Ancient Register of Rakedale or Ragdale, co. Leicester." One of the corners of the cover is torn off. It is a general register. Baptisms and Burials beginning in 1668, Marriages in 1669. One page is kept for the record of Marriages by licence, 1730-1746.

Volume II., 1754-1786. This is a small quarto volume bound in vellum, and in good preservation. It contains 152 pages and is a general register, though for the most part the Marriages are kept on different pages from the Burials and Baptisms. There are

eleven pages of Banns and Marriages. On the first page is written : •'A Register-Book for the Parish of Ragdale, according to the Act of Parliament, which took place the 25th day of March, A.D., 1754," and in different handwriting " More properly Rake-dale, that is the name in the Books of yore."

Volume III., 1786-1813. This is a small quarto volume bound in vellum, and in good preservation. It is similar to Volume II. It contains 174 pages of which the records of Banns and Marriages occupy 23 pages. The Burials and Baptisms are inscribed at the other end of the book.

Volume IV., 1813-1837. This is an octavo volume bound in vellum, and contains the ordinary printed forms. On the front " page is written : in the Parish or Peculiar of Ragdale or Rakedale" and " Earl Ferrers Lay Rector." There are 100 pages, of which eight are used, and 23 forms are filled in. In the Marriages here printed from Volumes II., III. and IV.. unless otherwise stated, the persons are of the parish of Ragdale,

and the terms bachelor, spinster, are omitted ; widow or widower only being printed. These Marriages have been transcribed by Miss L, M. B. Wright, of Frisby Vicarage, by permission of her father, the Vicar of Frisby and Ragdale, and they are now printed under her supervision. Volume I.

Marriages at Brooksby,

1767 to 1812.

Note.—Half-bound in " watered " paper boards, with calf back, " The Register-book of Brooksby Church from 1771 to 1811 " contains five parchment leaves, with paper fly-leaf at each end, and measures i^J inches by 10 inches. The dates above given are not exactly precise, as the first entry is dated 1767. The last Marriage entered took place in 1803. and there are in all only nine Marriages recorded in the period. These appear on the first three pages. The Baptisms, taking up three pages more, number sixteen, and on another page, to themselves, there are four Burials set down. The Hall, Brooksby, was for centuries the home of the Villiers

family, till 171 1, when the estate passed into the hands of Sir Nathan Wright, " Lord Keeper." Under 1780, May 20, is recorded the burial of Elizabeth, wife of Nathaniel Wright, Esq. The earlier books of registers appear to have been lost for many years, but a number of interesting entries relative to the Villiers family appear in the Hoby books. These Marriages have been copied by Mr. Matthew Pearson, by permission of the Rev. Arthur Carter, Rector of Brooksby and Vicar of Thrussington.

Marriages at Thrussington,

1660 to 1812.

" Note.—The first volume of Thrussington Registers is headed : A true and perfect Register of all the Weddings, Christnings and Burialls

vv'thin our parish of Thrussington. Begun 1660 juheie tlie old Book endeth." This earlier book has long been lost, but there are transcripts at Leicester for the years 1565 and 1584. The series of Registers belonging to Thrussington Church are, generally speaking, in excellent condition, ai;d consist of six volumes, in u-hich the handwriting is of legible types throughout, and the entries are more or less complete. The several books bear neat and numbered labels on the outside of the cover, indicating the contents and the period covered by each book, while within the cover is a careful and rather fuller summary of the contents.

Volume I. consists of 13 parchment leaves, measuring 10^ inches by 12 inches, bound in old calf boards. The synopsis (within)

reads : Baptisms from 1660 to 1721. Marriages from 1660 to 1719, except the years

1669-70-71 ; 1680-1 ; 1687-8 and 1717, in which there does not appear to have been any Marriages registered. Burials from 1660 to 1729, except ^the years 1726-7-8, in which there does not appear to have been any Burials registered. The Marriages in double column occupy the first 3^ pages. Volume II. headed "A true and perfect Register of all the Weddings, Christenings and Burials within our parish of Thrussington, begun January 8th, 1729-30, when the last ends." Nine parchment leaves, measuring 8^ inches by 13I inches, bound in vellum boards,

Baptisms from 1730 to 1751 ; a very irregular Register, the years 1744-5 being left out. Burials from 1730 to 1751. There does not appear to be any Burials registered in the years 1743-4-5. Marriages from 1730 to 1747. There do not appear to be any Marriages registered in the years

1 741 ; 1743-4-5-6. Leicestershire—II. h 98 Leicestershire Parish Registers. [1661

Volume III. Eight parchment leaves, measuring ii^ inches by i6| inches, vellum covers, Baptisms from 1751 to 1778. Burials from 1751 to 1778. Marriages from 1751 to 1754. Five Briefs are entered on the last page of cover.

Volume IV. (printed forms) : 24 leaves of parchment (paged up to 48), measuring 8J inches by " I2f inches. On label outside : Marriages from 1754 to 1787," bound " in paper boards. Inside : The Register of Banns and Marriages published or solemnized in the Parish of Thrussington pursuant to the Form prescribed by an act of Parliament intituled an Act for the better preventing of Clandestine Marriages, 1754." Volume V. A Register of Baptisms and Burials from 1778 to 1812.

Volume VI. (printed forms) : A Register book for Marriages in all Parish Churches and Chapels, etc., from 1787 to 1812. Size of leaves, 15^ inches by 9} inches, paper, bound in paper (marbled) boards. The entries are numbered correctly, with the exception that No. 50 follows 40, the intermediate Nos. being omitted so that instead of there being 109 entries (as would appear from this being the last number) there are only 100. The first half of this Book is taken up with the usual entries of the Banns, these are numbered up to 80 (Licences not entered), and there is a hiatus from No. 49 to No. 58. These Marriages have been abstracted by Mr. Matthew Pearson by the kind permission of the Revd. Arthur Carter, Vicar of

Thrussington, whose courteous assistance is hereby acknowledged.

Marriages at Barkby,

1586 to 1812.

Note.—The parish registers of Barkby previous to 1812 are contained in six volumes, which are in a good state of preservation and fairly

legible throughout. There is, unfortunately, however, a gap in the Marriages and Burials between 1640 and 1690, but with this ex- ception they are otherwise complete. At the end of this abstract of the Barkby Marriage registers will be found a printed record of 29 Marriages at Barkby between 1561 and 1678. These have been extracted from the register transcripts in the Archdeaconry Court at Leicester, by the kind permission of Mr, A. P. Moore,

B.C.L., the Registrar. Those from 1561 to 1584 are earlier, it will be seen, than the existing parish registers, whilst those from 1673

to 1678 are all that can be found to fill in the serious gap already referred to.

Vol. I, in parchment covers, consists of 32 leaves of parchment, measuring iif by 8 inches, and contains Baptisms, 1586 to 1690 ; Marriages, 1586 to three entries for 1678 and one for 1688 1641, ; and Burials, 1586 to 1641. The first portion of this volume, like other early registers, is a transcript of an earlier book long since destroyed.

Vol. II, also in parchment covers, consists of 47 leaves of parch- ment, measuring 11 by 7| inches, containing Baptisms and Burials, 1691 to 1757, and Marriages 1691 to 1753.

Vol. Ill consists of 21 leaves of parchment the usual printed forms, in paper covers, measuring 15^ by 9f inches. This volume contains Marriages only, 1754 to 1789.

Vol. IV is of parchment, bound in rough calf, and consists of 25 leaves, measuring 14^ by 8 inches. It contains Baptisms and Burials, 1758 to 1805, with a list of Vicars of Barkby from 1562 to 1784.

Vol. V is a paper book of printed forms, in stout covers, the leaves measuring 14I by 9 inches, and containing Marriages, 1790 to 1812.

Vol. VI consists also of parchment leaves, measuring 14^ by 8 inches, bound in rough calf, and containing on 6 leaves entries of Baptisms and Burials, 1806 to 1812, the remainder of the leaves being blank. 112 Leicestershire Parish Registers. [1586

The parish of Barkby includes the hamlets of Barkby Thorpe and Hambleton or Hamilton. The north end of Thurmaston was also included in Barkby parish until about 1853.

Through the generosity of Mr. T. Fielding Johnson, of Leicester, these Marriage entries have been extracted by Mr. Henry Hartopp, and are here printed by kind permission of the Rev. C. H. Clark, Vicar of Barkby.

Marriages at 5omerby,

1601 to 1812.

Note.—The following is a description of the earlier volumes of

Somerby Registers :

Vol. I, which extends from 1601 to 1715, is now preserved in the British Museum (Add. MSS., 24,802). It was purchased in

April, 1862, from C. Devon, Esq., but how it came into his possession does not appear. It has only 13 leaves, and contains entries of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, only for the years 1601 to 1603, 1627, 1631 to 1640, 1643, 1712 to 1715. Two of the missing leaves, of parchment, dilapidated and mostly illegible, containing entries for 1707 to 1709, and memoranda of 1669 and 1671, were mysteriously recovered in 1906, and are now in the possession of the Vicar of ins. Somerby ; size of page, 13 by 5J. The eighteenth century entries are in many cases written over and amongst the seventeenth century entries, the book having been badly kept. A transcription of this Register was made by the Rev. W. G. Dimock Fletcher, of Oxford, and was printed in the Transactions of the Leicestershire

Architectural and Archcrolo^ical Society, vol. 5, parts 3 and 4 (1881 and 1882). The entries are there given in chronological order. Many of the original entries were so faded and illegible that it was found impossible to transcribe them. Copies of the above Transactions were obtained a few years ago, and are jealously preserved along with the other Registers in Somerby Church. Thus, in a way,

Somerby has its own again !

Vol. II contains Baptisms, Marriages and Burials from 1716 to 1751. After being absent from its proper place and custody for possibly a hundred years, it mysteriously came into the hands of the Vicar of Somerby on Feb. i6th, 1906, being sent anonymously from the Upper Baker Street Post Office, London, N.W. (see Daily Mail, Feb. 22nd, 1906). Inside the volume were the two loose leaves of the Brit. Mus. Register already referred to. These two Registers

obviously were lost before 183 1, for the Parish Register abstract of

that year states that the Somerby Registers commence at 1751 ; most probably they were lost before 1813, when the Church safe was bought. The newly-found Register is in excellent condition, and on the whole was well kept. It is of parchment leaves in parchment

boards, and measures 15 ins. by 8^. On the outside of the cover is 136 Leicestershire Parish Registers. [1602

the following :— " Thomas Hackett Parish Clark beginning trinity Sunday 1703. This Register Beginning 1716. Serve ye the Lord. " Seek his face evermore. Vol. Ill extends from 1751 to 1793 for Baptisms and Burials, but only to the end of 1754 (" none ") for Marriages. It is of parchment

leaves in parchment boards, and measures 14 ins. by 7f , and is in fairly good condition. The entiies are by many different hands, some educated, others ill-spelt and illiterate.

Vol. IV.—Marriages, 1755-1812, is the usual book of forms. These Marriages have been transcribed by the Rev. G. E. Britten, Vicar of Somerby, and are now printed under his super- vision. Volume I.
