N I th o f S 1 8 6 the 3 eptember, 3 , a Royal Commission was “ issued for the purpose of enquiring into the state, cus

c c o r tody, and authenticity ofany su h Re ords of Births Baptisms , D M ” eaths or Burials , and arriages lawfully solemnized, as had “ E n W been formerly kept in gland and ales, other than the Paro c hial Registers ; as also for enquiring what measures could

c t be adopted for their colle tion , arrangemen , and ﬁnal deposit

- within the ofﬁce of the Registrar General .

O n 2 6th o f O the ctober, in the following year, this Commission S was renewed , and a ecretary appointed , who , by letters addressed to dissenting ministers and others having custody of such R egis

e c t rs, acquainted them with the existence and obje t of the C w l — — ' ommission itsel f, hi e, what is more to our purpose, the

C 1 8 1 8 8 ommissioners , in their Report , dated June, 3 , add that c om munications to a similar effec t were also addressed to the ” T prelates of the Roman Catholic Church . hese prelates at this

or to autho rize the inferior clergy of their persuasion to deliver c c up any registers in their possession , partly on a ount of the omissions and defects incident to rec ords made and preserved c c for so many years , with so mu h danger and difﬁ ulty under the w c c o f severe pressure of the penal la s , and , partly also on a ount the prac tical inconvenience that would result from depriving the Roman Cath o li c c lergy of the custody of Rec ords to whi c h frequent reference is made for purposes purely religious and ” ca nonical . Th e language of this extract may be taken as undoubtedly that employed by the Bishops in their reply to the Commission t ers , yet , s range to say, within little more than two years from

1 8 0 - this date , in the autumn of 4 , seventy eight old Catholic M ission Regis t ers were for warded by the c lergy to the A u t h o r i t ies at Somerset House . Still more perplexing is the fact that M ’ t . one of these registers , that viz . of S ary s Crathorne in York

shire , as will appear hereafter , is accompanied by a letter signed

by Bishop Briggs himself, shewing that the removal of the register in question was with his Lordship ’s full knowledge and c on c urrence .

From all this then , and from what follows , it will be evident that some c onsiderable difference of opinion must have prevailed amongst the Catholi c hierarc hy as to the expediency o f allowing the registers to c hange hands by passing from the c upboards of t he presbytery into the apparently safer c ustody afforded by the ﬁ r e - S M proof rooms in omerset House . oreover it was but , — natural that a sort o f jealous reluctance not to say alarm should have existed in many quarters at the very notion o f parting with original and authenti c records of Catholic life to a G overnment whose predecessors , not so very long before , would have condemned to death the custodian of each register for the

mere fact of his being a priest . A nother c ause of c onfusion and misunderstanding must surely also have arisen from the wording of a c lau s e in the Commission , “ ” wherein it is suggested that the Registers o r co ies t/zer eo , p f,

’ might eventually ﬁnd their way to the Registrar -General s ofﬁce . OLD E N GLI SHCATH LI M O C I SSI ONS .

A c c c -o n ordingly, we ﬁnd , for example , the priest of Berwi k T weed writing to the Commissioners when forwarding his

in s e c registers , Please, have the kindness to return them after p ” T . w A tion hese words, however, are after ards erased . vener

1 8 0 able priest, also, who is still living, and who in 4 had the charge of a country mission , most obligingly writes to me as follows :

I D r . f received an order from the Bishop , Gri ﬁths, to n S I se d the Baptismal Register to omerset House, which did , ’ with the request that as soon as they had eopzea or inspected it in they would send it back ; they did so almost immediately, I forming me that it was no use to them , unless would allow them to keep the original book : I am surprised to learn that you found any of the original Catholic Registers at Somerset House. A s I c c well as re olle t , there was a general order from the Bishop that the p riests who sent the Registers should request their ” immediate return .

’ n o w T S t . Pasted inside a register, at homas , Canterbury, is a paper stating that it too had on the same occ asion experienced T a similar double journey. his was probably the register kept

T he the at Hales Place . fact, also, of the retention of one of

D c f urham Registers , noti ed in its place, af ords too, further evidence of an existing reluctance to part with them . I t is very evident at any rate, that there was a warrantable belief prevalent among the Catholic clergy at that time that c opies of their Registers were to be made at Somerset House and

O . the riginals afterwards returned Be this, however, as it may, a C I st 1 8 nother ommission was issued on January, 57, having the

c same obje ts as those already mentioned . O vertures were again — — made this time to Cardinal Wiseman to obtain possession o f the Catholic Registers , with what result, however, the subjoined reply of His E minence will shew

A s they all met in London last week for the first time sin c e I O I c had the hono u r of hearing from you in ctober, embra ed the opportunity of bringing before them your proposal that our C atholi c Registers of Ba ptisms and M arriages should be deposited ’ c in the Registrar G eneral s O ffi e . I t is nec essary to observe that almost c ontinual appli c ations are made from the Continent and from A meri c a to us for c e r t ifi c M ates of Baptism Confirmation , and arriage , both for legal and ,

(still oft ener) for ecclesiasti c al purposes . Persons about to receive

O rders or to marry require the two first , and the third is wanted to determine succession . I n Catholi c c ountries no merely civil certifi c ate is suffi c ient for A n c c c such purposes . y su h do ument must be extra ted from the Register by the priest in c harge of the c h u rch or c hapel where c c t he entry was made , and it must be a ompanied by a declaration , a n c signed d sealed by the Catholi bishop , that the person whose f c c signature is a fixed holds su h offi e , and is entitled to full c c reden e . V- ere the Registers to pass out of the custody of the priest in c c c harge of the pla e to whi h they belonged , it would be necessary fo r c L M c the priest to ome up to ondon , say from an hester, to v c c c erify any extra t , or to make it himself, every time a ertifi ate w as T applied for to him from abroad . his would be a serious expense and in c onvenien c e . S o partic ular are authorities abroad as to the forms of these doc uments being c on formable to those prescribed in the Roman I Ritual , that they have been sent back from taly, and even from c Brazil , be ause some formality was wanting , or some omission c c o urred from pec uliar usages o f our own (e g . omission of a c I c c paro hial seal) , and have had to make parti ular de larations c u f c I to make the do ment valid o r e fi ient . need not add that

c L . I these forms and certifi ates are universally in atin may also , w C C ho ever, observe that throughout the atholic hurch a Bishop A c is , by virtue of his office , a Prothonotary postoli , so that his n o c o r c signature and seal require further verifi ation authenti ation . T o x c c show to what e tent this ondition of things may pro eed , I w ill mention that some time (perhaps t wo years) ago a Hun garian nobleman c ame to E ngland and married a Protestant lady P C c . O n u in a rotestant hur h ret rning home he found, that his ’ c marriage was not re ognised , the Protestant minister s certificate b not eing recognised , and he applied to me to give him a dec lara o f tion his marriage as valid before the Church here, based upon N OLD E N GLISH CATH OZ ] 0 M I SSI O S . vii

T I the Protestant certiﬁcate . his , of course, was obliged to

decline doing, having no ofﬁcial cognizance of the signature, nor

any relation with the offi c iating parties . At this moment I have before me an application from a highly c M o respectable advo ate at adrid to disprove, as far as p ssible , an c c o ff alleged marriage twenty years ago , whi h , if it took pla e, cuts M from considerable property the c hildren o f a later marriage . y attestation of searc h and n o n -disc overy will be offi c ial and c D admitted by the ourts . ifficulties might arise if the Registers o f o r I were totally out my keeping control , nor, suppose, in the c fo r c l present state of the law, could you send do uments epis op a s verification , or recognise any official declaration or attestation

from us . As c , therefore , our referen es to our registers are ten times on account of foreign or e c c lesiasti c al demands for on c e i n connec c i s tion with domestic ivil purposes, you will see the ser ou — obstac les to our depositing our Registers in any general o fﬁ c e I

option of each individual priest to forward his register, or not ,

no more were to be sent at all . “ Th e date of the foundation of each mission was also, we

Very often there is a discrepancy between the alleged date o f the M ission foundation and the date at which the register c Th e c ommences . latter, however, was a question of fa t, easily S answered , but not so the former. ome priests passed the “ u question by altogether, and left a blank nder the words , a OLD E N GLISH CATHOLI C M I SSI ONS x .

Th e catalogue of the library, as given in the Pontefract

their names and the date, and afterwards forgetting to insert them

in regular order in the register. This appears the more evident from the circ umstances that so soon as they g o t well established
