HOLLEY, B.A., Vicar of Runhatn. VOL. V. ^^ 11 -/a, Cio/'i Xondon Issued to the Subscribers by Phillimore & Co., Ltd., 124, Chancery Lane. 1910. — 1379192 PREFACE The fifth volume of the Marriage Registers of Norfolk is now placed in the hands of the subscribers. It contains the Marriage Registers of thirteen parishes, besides additional Marriages at Castleacre for the seven- teenth century, taken from the Bishop's Transcripts. The eighteenth century Registers of Castleacre were printed in the first volume of this Series. It will be noticed that the Registers of several parishes are brought down to 1837 instead of 1812 and the Editors hope in the future volumes of the Norfolk Series to print all the Registers down to 1837, which, being the date when Civil Registration began, seems a more appropriate and convenient stopping place than 18 12. It has not been thought needful to print the entries verbatim. They are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish of. co.=in the county of. dioc.=in the diocese of. //(r.=marriage licence. It must be borne in mind that the existing early Registers are themselves but transcripts, made under the order of Elizabeth in 1597, from the original paper Registers. It should be remembered 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 February, 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 February, 162^. 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. VI Thanks are due to the Rev. R. Fetzer-Taylor and Miss Fetzer-Taylor, the Rev. J. Harvey Bloom, the Rev. F. Percival Farrar, the Rev. L. B. Stallard, the Rev. T. S. Cogs- well, and Mr. F. Johnson for the labour of transcription and collation ; and to the various incumbents, whose names are mentioned under their respective parishes, for permission to print. No index is issued with this volume, as the Editors con- sider that it will be better to have one general index for the county on the completion of the work, instead of several for the various volumes. It may be well to remind the reader that these printed abstracts of the Registers are not legal " evidence". For certificates application must be made to the local clergy. The Editors will gladly welcome help in the work of transcribing the Registers. It is only by volunteer assistance that it becomes feasible to issue this series of Parish Registers, and subscribers will greatly aid if they will take every oppor- tunity of making known the existence of this Series. It should then be possible, as in other counties, to issue two volumes 3'early. W. P. W. P. G. H. H. 124, Chancery Lane, London, June 1 9 10. I^orfolk parial) Hegtatera.

  • The Reserved Sacrament – Some Thoughts (Written As a Memorial to Bishop John Mantle Formerly Bishop of Brechin)
    The Reserved Sacrament – some thoughts (Written as a memorial to Bishop John Mantle formerly bishop of brechin) 1. Introduction The history of the Reserved Sacrament is almost as old as Christendom. Gregory Dix made it clear in his book The Shape of the Liturgy that the principal reason for reservation was to symbolise the liturgical presidency of a bishop within his church. As the church grew and bishops were perforce required to warrant their presbyters with authority to consecrate the sacramental species, deacons carried portions of the Eucharistic bread (the fermentum) from the bishop’s celebration to be included with that of the presbyters.1 This action was undertaken as a token that they were in communion with their bishop and to demonstrate that the bishop remained the high-priest of the community and its principal, liturgical minister, whether he was present or not. This use was attested at least thirty years before reservation was employed in providing daily communion (by about AD120). Dix explained that it was also a common practice in the pre-Nicene church for the communicating faithful to take portions of the consecrated bread home with them so that they could make their communions on mornings when the liturgy was not celebrated.2 By the third century, deacons carried the sacrament to those who could not get to the Sunday service; this activity was later assumed by acolytes or assistants. Dix described the basic use of the reserved sacrament as being essential for the daily communion of the faithful, not necessarily for the communion of the sick.3 2.

The first is the bicentenary of the publication of the first Australian newspaper, the `Sydney Gazette and NSW Advertiser.' The other major event will be celebrated at the end of 2003, with the centenary of powered, controlled and sustained human flight. Although the Wright Brothers' flight was an American success, their achievement was initially based on the work of other pioneers. The work of those earlier pioneers became available to the Wrights through the medium of print. This paper explores some of the Australian linkages between the written word and those early aerial endeavours.

  • Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office
    Parish Registers and Transcripts in the Norfolk Record Office This list summarises the Norfolk Record Office’s (NRO’s) holdings of parish (Church of England) registers and of transcripts and other copies of them. Parish Registers The NRO holds registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and banns of marriage for most parishes in the Diocese of Norwich (including Suffolk parishes in and near Lowestoft in the deanery of Lothingland) and part of the Diocese of Ely in south-west Norfolk (parishes in the deanery of Fincham and Feltwell). Some Norfolk parish records remain in the churches, especially more recent registers, which may be still in use. In the extreme west of the county, records for parishes in the deanery of Wisbech Lynn Marshland are deposited in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, whilst Welney parish records are at the Cambridgeshire Record Office. The covering dates of registers in the following list do not conceal any gaps of more than ten years; for the populous urban parishes (such as Great Yarmouth) smaller gaps are indicated. Whenever microfiche or microfilm copies are available they must be used in place of the original registers, some of which are unfit for production. A few parish registers have been digitally photographed and the images are available on computers in the NRO's searchroom.

PREFACE. Of the numerous biographers of the poet Burns, few have dilated on his lineage. Some doubtless felt that his position might not be elevated by any pedigree, however famous. Others may have been content to hold that himself being in lowly circumstances, any inquiry as to his progenitors would be useless and unprofitable. By his biographer Dr Currie he is described as " in reality a peasant." What in respect of descent Burns really was these Memoirs will show. Bemotely sprung from a landed stock, his im- mediate ancestors were yeomen, at first opvdent, latterly the reverse. The family had produced another poet, the author of "Thrummy Cap;" but decided indications of intellectual activity did not appear in the house till subsequent to the marriage of the poet's paternal grandfather.

We vest the Crucifer with his own special garment to emphasise that particular idea. But the original Crucifer was not such a pretty sight. And I don’t mean the Emperor. Our Lord was Himself the original Crucifer In the Beginning… – the One who carried the Cross to Calvary. Holy Cross Day is sometimes known as the He was half-dead from being tortured and Feast of the Exaltation (or Triumph) of the bled from his many wounds. His only Holy Cross. It commemorates the retrieval adornment was a crown of thorns. There on of the supposed relic of the Holy Cross Calvary Hill He offered His unique and from the Persians in the year 629 and its bloody sacrifice for our sins, the same sacri- triumphant return to Jerusalem, carried per- fice that Christians share every time we sonally by the Emperor, divested of his im- gather for the Holy Eucharist.
