P R E F A C E . o f P o f e The Registers the three arishes, which the Marriag s are printed in this volume , all begin in the sixteenth century . But While it is a pleasure to be able to mention the preservation ' f a o f o the old volumes , it is matter regret to have to add that at Whiteparish the Marriage Register fo r . the years 1 8 0 7 to 1 8 1 2 i n . t was t is missi g When , lost is apparen ly not now known , but s 1 8 1 The it i understood to have been in existence in 3 . Mar riage s solemnized during the period when this book was in use have been carefully copied from the Bishop ’s Transcripts at Salisbury, so that the record here printed is as complete as it i has been possible to make t. w f Although the Registers themselves are, ith this un ortunate f fo f exception , complete rom the latter hal the sixteenth century , there are as usual some gaps to deplore in addition to those generally to be found at the time o fthe Civil War and the first o f Commonwealth . Thus at Whiteparish the part the a f n o earliest Register is a tr nscript, rom a still earlier book not w f -in 1 6 0 to be ound , made 5 ; but the transcript only comes down t 1 0 1 8 - f 2 1 o January, 5 9 9 , and there is no urther entry until 1 6 0 - January, 4 5 , When regular registration seems to have been f . At 1 6 1 6 resumed Luckington there are gaps rom 3 9 to 4 5 , ' 1 6 8 16 1 6 1 686 1 1 1 a small 4 to 54 , 7 7 to , and 7 5 to 7 5 4 ; but in r parish such as this it is not easy to say how far these gaps are o f normal or the consequence neglect. The Editors de sire to express their than ks to the clergy o f the three parishes who have kindly afforded the necessary facili ‘ fo r n : o f ties making these tra scripts the Vicar Whiteparish , and f M r W o . F the Rectors Devizes and Luckington to . Lawrence ' fo r permission to use the txan script he has had made o fthe f M H . P f Registers o Whiteparish to r. J . arry o r transcribing the ‘ a th Ba ist W St. e t Marri ges at John p , Devizes ; and to the Rev. L fo r Symonds those at Luckington . It must be mentioned that these transcripts are not “ evi e o fmariia e th d nce g in e legal sense . Whe re such evidence is e e d a r quir application should be m de to the clergy, in whose \ fr f c rtificat s custody the, Registers are, o ormal e e . The Editors will be greatly obliged fo r further assistance in o f aid the transcription Registers , as it is only by such voluntary o n s o f that the work can be carried , and what till remains those valuable records preser ved to posterity .
