This tenth volume of Somerset Marriage Registers in- cludes the remaining portion of the Registers of the important parish of St. Mary's, Taunton, down to the year 1812. Of this Mr. Bates undertook the transcription. For Bishop's Hull, and, in part, for Halse, Mr. Seager has been responsible. It is intended that Volume XI shall be devoted to various country Parish Registers. The Marriage Registers of St. James, Taunton, have already been transcribed, and will be printed in a later volume. 4 O^QO/f C The usual contractions have been made use of w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish ot. s.=spinster, single woman, co.=in the county of. or son of. dioc.=in the diocese of. b.=bachelor, or single man. /?V.=marriage licence. d.=daughter of. The reader must remember that the printed volumes are not "evidence" in the legal sense. Certificates must be obtained from the local clergy in charge of the Registers. It is the Editors' wish to print two volumes annually, and thus to make a steady and substantial progress in the work of preserving our ancient Parish Registers from the risks of destruction or loss to which they are constantly exposed, even in the best circumstances, so long as their con- tents remain in manuscript only.
