ILon&on Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., 124, Chancery Lane. 1908. — PREFACE. As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

A course for those who have children aged 5-11 run over six sessions. We also decided on our new name, which is Mercia Deanery. As many of you will know, Every Tuesday 7.30pm-9.30pm Mercia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom which extended over much of the Midlands. How- From 10th January until 14th February ever, the first few bishops of Mercia were based in Repton and it was from this area that Emmanuel Church Hall, Swadlincote Christianity was spread throughout the whole kingdom.
