I n the present Vo lume a r e printed the Registers of seven Devonshire parishes , and the Editor hopes that now a series for Devonshire has been commenced all the Parish Registers of the County may be included in it . In the neighbouring counties much progress has been made in this direction in the . last few years , and we may anticipat—e equal interest will be taken in the work of pre m serving through the means of the Press - t he ancient Parish . 8 Registers of this County In Cornwall upwards of 5 , and in Somerset 79 Marriage Registers have been printed , while m 6 in the Dorset series , much ore recently commenced , 3 Registers have already been rendered available by publication , and it is hoped that no t less rapid progress will be eff ected in Devonshire . 1 3 7 9 " The contents of the present olume show how needful it is that steps should be taken to print our Parish Registers and place them beyond risk of destruction . Of the seven ' a Uficulme a parishes included , only th t of possesses Register going back to the earliest period of r 538 ; five do not com mence until the seventeenth century and one not till 1 752 . It will thus be seen how great has been the amount of parish records that have perished , ; but placed thus in print as in this volume the contents of Registers are safe from loss or destruction . The Editor desires to tender thanks to the Rev . R . D . Cooke , Rev . G . W . F . Fagan , Rev . F . Thomas , Rev. T . Taylor , Rev . W . Oldham and the Rev . T . W . Howard for their valuable help in transcribing the Registers . 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 = = o i mi: a r s o f . w wido w r o r i o . h . e w d w . p p i = in h o n o f = co t e c . s 3 i n s e o r sin e wo man . p t r gl u ty ‘ = di in t he io ce se o f . = o i ma n . o b achelo r r s n e . b . gl d = h ic ar r ia e i ce ce . l . m da ug te r . g l n The reader must bear in mind that these transcripts are “ not legal evidence, and that for certificates the clergy in charge of the Registers must be applied to . The Editor again desires to impress upon the reader the fact that it is only volunteer assistance that renders the issue of these Registers possible . He will gladly welcome further help in the work of tra nscription in any part of the County . P H ILL IMOR E . W P W . 1 2 Chan cer L a n e 4 , y , J ul) "I 909 ° ¢o n t ent a H Y A S. PARIS .
