Transcribed by C.W. Sellars, M.A., B.Phil. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to acknowledge with gratitude the generosity of the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research of the University of York in making available to me the documents on which this transcription is based and the assistance and consideration shown to me by its staff during the many years in which I have been working upon it.
C.W. Sellars TADCASTER PARISH REGISTERS VOLUMES 7 AND 8 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
This transcription of the Tadcaster Parish Registers is taken from the originals which are held in the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research of the University of York. It also incorporates the annual Parish Register Transcripts which were submitted by the incumbent to the Diocese of York: these are also held in the Borthwick Institute.
The layout of the transcription differs from that for volumes I to 6 (for which see the general introduction to volumes Ito 6) but the following general rules remain the same:
1) TYPE:
This indicates whether the entry is a burial, christening or marriage as follows:
B = Burial C = Christening (baptism) M = Marriage
(These abbreviations commonly appear in the Registers themselves)
Where an entry appears in a Transcript as well as in the Register this is indicated by the letter "T" in brackets after the type of entry: e.g. B(T), C(T), M(T)
If an entry appears in a Transcript alone and not in the Register this is indicated in a footnote.
2) SURNAME:
This is shown with the spelling that it has been given in the Register or Transcript. In cases where the spelling differs between the Register and the Transcript the Register spelling is normally preferred and the Transcript spelling is given in a footnote.
Surnames are always given in upper case letters wherever they occur in the Registers or Transcripts: e.g. GRANGER, BARKER.
3) FORENAMES:
There is normally (but not exclusively) only one forename.
The rules for spelling are the same as for surnames except that occasionally a different forename is given in the Transcript: in this case the Register forename is preferred and the Transcript forename is given in a footnote.
Forenames are always given in lower case letters: e.g. Mary, Brian, Elisabeth.
4) RELATION:
Bastards:
Bastards are rarely specifically identified in the baptisms from volume 8 onwards but are generally clearly indicated by the omission of a father's name and the description of the mother as a spinster.
Twins:
Twins are usually identified as such in the entries of baptisms from volume 8 onwards. Since dates of birth as well as dates of baptism are given in these volumes it is possible to avoid the error of assuming that children of a family baptised on the same day were necessarily twins. The number of cases, however, where children of different birth dates were baptised on the same day is surprisingly small.
5) DATE:
Dates are given as they appear in the Registers and Transcripts.
The new (Gregorian) calendar began with the first entries for January 1752 in volume 5 of the Registers and the year is taken as beginning on 1 January throughout volume 7 and following volumes of the Registers rather than on 25 March which had been the practice before 1752. Transcript entries also follow this new pattern at first, but, after a few years of rather confused practice, revert to running from 25 March to 25 March in 1757.
There are occasional differences of date between individual entries in the Registers and Transcripts. These are noted where they occur.
6) RESIDENCE, OCCUPATION, TITLE ETC
Residence:
The parish of Tadcaster, during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, included the town of Tadcaster and the hamlets of Catterton, Haziewood, Oxton, Ouston and Stutton. There are frequent occasions in the marriages in volume 7 where the partners are simply said to be "of this parish": this makes identification of the exact place of residence difficult but the vast majority clearly came from the town of Tadcaster. Places of residence outside the parish become very much more frequent than in the earlier volumes; they are usually indicated in the Registers.
Occupation:
Occupations are given more frequently in volume 7 of the Registers than in earlier volumes and they are almost universally given in volume 8.
Title:
The social status of a person entered in the Registers or Transcripts is quite frequently indicated by a title.
The most common are:
"Mrs." (i.e. "mistress" - which does not necessarily indicate a married woman) "gentleman" (often abbreviated to "gent.") "widow" "spinster" "bachelor" degrees of seniority in a family such as "the younger", "the elder", "senior", "junior", etc.
7) ENTRY NO:
The entry numbers do not appear in the Registers or Transcripts but have been allocated to individual entries by the transcriber. Double entries such as marriages and double baptisms or burials have an entry number for each individual in the entry. These entry numbers are intended to be in chronological order throughout all the volumes of the Registers. (There are a few places where the numbers are not exactly in the order of the Registers and a few gaps in the series but each entry has a unique number). The entry numbers relate to a computer database which has been compiled by the transcriber for the purposes of statistical analysis and family reconstitution and they will be used as reference numbers in any material which results from such investigation.
8) ADDITIONAL MATERIAL:
Additional material which is not part of the regular form of an entry is shown immediately below the entry to which it refers. This is normally reproduced verbatim and indicated as such by inverted commas.
Most of the Transcripts are signed by the incumbent and/or other persons (generally the churchwardens). These signatures are noted at an appropriate point in the transcription when they occur. LAYOUT OF TRANSCRIPTION OF VOLUMES 7 AND 8 OF THE REGISTERS
Volume 7 contains the Register of marriages from 1754 to 1779. In accordance with Hardwick&s Marriage Act' of 1754, it is entered in a pre-printed book which includes for each marriage a record of the publication of the marriage banns, the residences of the partners in the marriage and the signatures of the celebrant, the partners in the marriage and one or more witnesses (usually two). The publication of the banns is recorded even when the marriage subsequently took place elsewhere. A revised layout is used, similar to that for the earlier volumes but omitting the headings RELATION and PARENT, SPOUSE, ETC which do not occur in marriage entries, and the additional information is shown below each entry. The revised layout is fully described in the introduction to volume 7.
Volume 8 contains the Register of baptisms and burials from 1777 to 1792 and it is a "Dade"2 register which includes much fuller information in each entry. The volume contains pre-printed, headed columns running across two facing "folios" (or pages) and the entries are made in these columns.
Baptisms include both the day and dates of birth and baptism; the name, occupation and residence of the father; the name of the mother and the descent of both father and mother (the names of both their parents in each case) with similar information about occupations and residence.
Burials show both dates of death and burial; name, residence, age and cause of death; the name, occupation and residence of the father and the name of the mother together with the name, occupation and residence of her father
Provision is also made for the entry of the seniority of a child in the family, in both baptisms and burials, but this is not entered for baptisms in the Tadcaster Registers and only intermittently for the first few years of burials. Moreover, the details of descent are not always completely full, especially on the female side.
This much fuller information necessitates completely revised forms of layout for both baptisms and burials. These revised forms of layout are fully described in the introduction to volume 8.
EDITORIAL MATERIAL:
Footnotes are used to make editorial comment where necessary.
Additionally some editorial comments are made in the course of the transcription. These are normally placed in brackets.
A number of editorial abbreviations are used throughout the transcription:
"T": Where some part of an entry has been omitted in the Register or Transcript which might have been expected to be present e.g. a forename. This is placed at the relevant point in the entry.
"(?)":Placed after a word or words which are difficult to decipher where the transcribed version may be incorrect.
(indec): Where a word or group of words is indecipherable.
(blank): Where a blank has been left in the original Register or Transcript for the later insertion of a part of the entry (usually a name) but which has not subsequently been completed
I See C.C. Webb - A Guide to Parish Records in the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research - 1987, p. viii 2 ibid. pp. v-vu
111 INDEXES:
Three indexes are supplied at the end of each volume of the Registers. They are:
1) Index of Surnames:
All surnames which occur on each page of the transcription are listed in alphabetical order in their original spellings. Where it is possible that a name has not been correctly transcribed a note in the index is used to suggest other likely alternatives. For ease of search surnames which are probably variants of the same surname are grouped together and marked with an asterisk. Suggested modernised spellings of surnames or groups of surnames are placed above them in brackets.
2) Index of Placenames:
The same rules apply as with surnames.
3) General index:
This includes occupations and titles and other information which may be obtained from the volume in question.
Iv TADCASTER PARISH REGISTERS VOLUME 8 INTRODUCTION
Borthwick Institute Reference No: PR TAD 8
Volume 8 of the Tadcaster Parish Registers consists of a pre-printed "Dade"' Register of Baptisms and Burials, bound in leather covered boards, with baptisms running from the front of the volume and burials from the end of the volume towards the centre. It contains 424 paper pages of baptism entries, 236 pages of burial entries and a number of unused pages. Each page is given a number (with occasional omissions) and these pages are described as "folios" in the transcription to avoid confusion with the page numbers given on each page of the transcription for the purpose of indexing. Baptisms and burials have separate sequences, each beginning at folio 1. Each entry runs across two facing "folios" in both baptisms and burials.
The baptism entries run from 8 May 1777 to 7 October 1792 without any appreciable gaps and follow immediately after the last entry in the previous volume of baptisms. Burial entries run from 17 May 1777 to 3 October 1792, again without appreciable gaps and following immediately after the last entry in the previous volume of burials.
The baptism entries are made in headed columns which contain the following information: Surname and forenames; day and date of both birth and baptism; the name, occupation and residence of the father (except in the cases of bastards); the maiden name of the mother, the descent of both parents (the names of both their parents in each case) with occupations and residence as appropriate.
Burial entries are also in headed columns which contain the following information: Surname and forenames; dates of both death and burial; age at death and cause of death; the name, occupation and residence of the father and the name of the mother together with the name, occupation and residence of her father.
Provision is also made for the entry of the seniority of children in the family in both baptisms and burials, but this is not entered for baptisms in the Tadcaster Registers and only intermittently for the first few years of burials. Moreover, the full details of descent are not always given, especially on the feniale side.
Each baptism entry is set out under the following headings in the transcription:
TYPE SURNAME FORENAMES DATE OF DATE OF ENTRY NO BIRTH BAPTISM
Fr: Forename, occupation and residence Son of, forename, occupation and residence By forename dr. of full name, occupation and residence
Mthr: Forename dr. of full name, occupation and residence By forename dr. of full name, occupation and residence
Each burial entry is set out under the following headings in the transcription:
TYPE SURNAME FORENAMES DATE OF DATE OF AGE CAUSE OF ENTRY NO DEATH BURIAL DEATH
Son of/dr. of forename/full name2 , occupation, residence By forename dr. of full name, occupation, residence
I See C.C. Webb - A Guide to Parish Records in the Borthwick Institute of Historical Research - 1987, p. v-vu 2 The full name of the father is given in the case of married women and shows her maiden name. The number of baptisms and burials is recorded at the end of each calendar year and there are a few references to the collection of duty on baptisms and burials.
The incumbents during the period covered by the Register1 were:
Henry NOBLE - instituted 17 September 1754. - eldest son of The Rev. Henry NOBLE of Croglin, Cumberland. - married to Mrs. Elizabeth FISHER at Tadcaster (by Minister of Saxton) 10 May 1768. - died of asthma (aged 51)and buried in the church at Tadcaster 7 December 1779.
John CROSLEY - instituted 16 December 1779 - M.A. (Cantab.) - Master of the Grammar School - formerly vicar of Bilbrough - son of William CROSLEY - married to Elizabeth HARPER dr. of Mr. James HARPER, yeoman, Cocksford, Ryther -. died 4 July 1791 and buried in the church at Tadcaster 6 July 1791 (aged 55)
John PARKER - instituted 7 November 1791
Thomas VERNON - instituted 19 September 1792
There were also two curates during the period:
William RHODES - licensed? 1784 - son of James RHODES of Hebden Bridge - married to Ann ADDINAL dr. of Mr. John ADDINAL, fanner, Tadcaster - previously curate of Walton - graduated B.D. at St. John s, Cambridge in 1796 and became Master of the Grammar School at Tadcaster in that year -became vicar of Tadcaster in 1811
Thomas LEECH - licensed 2 July 1792
Parish Register Transcripts exist for all of the years covered by the Register and they continue to run from 25 March to 25 March rather than the calendar year. There are very few entries which are in the Transcripts alone and very few which appear in the Register but not in the Transcripts. A few entries in the Transcripts, presumably of persons important in the community, are in a large, bold hand and some surnames have a more rational spelling than those in the Register.
The only insertion in the Register of material not relating to baptisms and burials is a list, inside the front cover, of three women who were excommunicated in 1782.
Footnotes have been used quite extensively, particularly to identify the location of places of residence.
I See G.E. Kirk - A guide to the parish church, Tadcaster - 1939
11 Indexes of surnames, placenames and a general index (including occupations and titles) have been provided, as in the earlier volumes, and the following points should be noted:
Surnames: All surnames are indexed but many of these are of relatives of the persons being baptised or buried. Therefore, references to those being baptised are indicated in bold type and references to those being buried are in italics.
Placenames: An attempt has been made to locate all placenames appearing in the Register but a few have defeated me!
General index: Causes of death have been grouped together to assist students of medical history. Any study of occupations using this index should bear in mind that many are the occupations of persons resident outside Tadcaster and that the occupation of fathers with many children is indexed each time it occurs. Any analysis of the numbers in each occupation or the frequency of occupations needs to be undertaken with care.
