Of the nine Registers included, six date from the sixteenth century, the remaining three belong to the succeeding century. As before, entries are reduced to a common form, and the following contractions have been freely used : w.=widower, or widow. p.=ot the parish ol. s.=spinster, single woman. co.=in the county of. b.=bachelor, or single man. dioc.=in the diocese of. d.=daughter of. /«V.=marriage licence. For the transcription of the Registers, the Editors have to acknowledge the valuable assistance of Dr. W. T. Bensley, the Rev. E. Kinaston, the Rev. R. A. Oram, the Rev. J. G. Poole, and the Rev. R. Fetzer Taylor and Miss Fetzer Taylor, who contributed two Registers, Hickling was tran- scribed by Mr. Johnson. Thanks are due to the clergy who have given permission for these records to be printed. Their names are mentioned under the respective parishes. J_0 / 9 1.3l It is of the highest importance that we should not delay in printing the Registers as rapidly as possibly, as this is the only way in which their contents can be effectively preserved. Greater care undoubtedly is taken of these invaluable personal records than was formerly the case, but loss of Registers still goes on, and it may be mentioned that in more than one instance Registers have been lost, or their condition has seriously deteriorated, since they were transcribed, although it is but ten years since this series of printed Parish Registers was commenced. 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. VI The Editors will gladly welcome help in the work of transcribing the Registers of Norfolk. 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 opportunity of making known the existence of this series, for with sufficient support it should be possible, as in other counties, to issue two volumes yearly. With so large a county as Norfolk, it is obvious that adequate progress in printing the Registers can be made so long only as that rate, at the least, is steadily maintained. W. P. W. P.

Note.— Barton Turf is an ancient parish, and the Parish Church is at least five hundred years old, and there are evidences of earlier buildings on the same site. Volume I. This consists of 92 parchment leaves, the leaves are numbered and have two pages to each leaf. Leaves i to 40 contain Baptisms from 1560 to 1770; 41 to 52, Marriages from 1558 to 1753; 53 to 60, Baptisms from 1770 to 1790; 61 to 86. Burials from 1558 to 1790. The rest of the book is blank, except the last page, which contains an account of the Church Rate for 1671. At the end of this there is a statement of the clerk's fees, " amongst which are : For buryall with a coffin, 2s. 6d. ; without a coffin, \s. dd. The condition of this volume is generally good size, 12 in. by 5 in. ; binding, stiif cardboards covered with parch- ment. Of the part relating to Marriages, the latter part of leaf 45 is blank, date 1645-66, in which period there is only one entry. There are blank spaces also on leaf 47. Where the name of the parish is not given. Barton Turf is to be understood. The Register begins with the words:—"Register Bocke for the Towne of Barton then made and [ ] according to the Cannons and ecclesiasticall constitutions published and set forth by the Archbishop, Bishops, and the rest of the clergie of the province of Canterberye in the Sinnod begune at London the 20 daye of the munth of October in the yeare of our Lord God 1597 and in the Rayne of our most Cristiane Princis Ladye Elizabeth by the grace of God of England, France, and lerland, Defendris of the fayth, &c., the thirtyenynth." It is signed "Per me E. Greene." " Note that everye yeare begines the 25 daye of Marche." The name of Esdras Greene occurs in the Marriage Register, Jime 26, 1597. From i6io to 1730 the handwriting varies a great deal and in places it is bad and difficult to read. Probably only the first four leaves of this book were written by E. Greene. They contain the copy of the original Baptismal Registers, 1558 to 1594. The copying of the Registers of Marriages and Burials, and all the other entries up to 1610 are by another hand, presumably that of Edmund Cooke, the Vicar, who was buried May 30th, 1610. NORF. — IV.
