1Rote for tbe IReaber

The present volume and that for Hereford are the first com- pleted by the Shropshire Parish Register Society.

The desire of the Council has been to evoke a general interest in the work by printing registers in different parts of the county, and with this object a diocesan arrangement of the volumes was adopted on the suggestion of the Chairman of Council ; though as each parish is also given its own separate pagination, it is open to members to arrange the registers in any mode, local or alphabetical, which happens to appeal to their personal convenience. This, moreover, is facilitated by the separate parish indexes, from which hereafter it may be hoped there will be compiled one general index of names for the whole county.

The registers in the present volume are all printed from the commencement down to the year 1812, which seems a convenient stopping-point, as then was inaugurated a new system of registration by what is known as Rose's Act, which lasted only till 1837, when our present mode of registration of births, deaths, and marriages was adopted. It may be convenient here to add the following facts in the history of parish registers :

Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar General, issued the order for keeping parish registers on 29th September, 1538.

Injunctions to this end repeated 1552 and 1558.

Cardinal Pole required the names of sponsors to be added to the registers of baptisms, 1555.

VI NOTE FOR THE READER.

The registers were directed to be transcribed anew on

parchment, copies now known as ''Bishops' Transcripts"

to be sent to the Bishops; 25th October, 1597. These regulations embodied in the 70th Canon in 1603. The "Directory" orders births as well as baptisms to be

entered, 1645. The Commonwealth directed " parish registers " to be

appointed, 22nd September, 1653. Civil marriage was instituted 29th September, 1654. These civil marriages were legalized by Act of 12 Car. II,

c. 33, in 1660. Act compelling burial in woollen, 18 Car. II, 1667. Act requiring an affidavit of burial in woollen to be

entered, 30 Car. II, 1678. Duties on the registration of births, marriages, and burials,

imposed for five years, 1694 to 1698, 6 Will. III. Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act took effect 25th March, 1754. Duty of ^d. on every entry in a register, imposed by 23

Geo. Ill, c. 71, 1783. And repealed 34 Geo. Ill, c. 11, 1794. Rose's Act, 52 Geo. Ill, c. 146, took effect ist January, 1813. Civil registration commenced ist July, 1837.

It may be well to remind the reader of the *' double date." Up to the time of the reform of the calendar in 1754, the civil year commenced on 25th March, while the historical year, as now, began on ist January. Consequently the period from ist January to 25th March was in two years. Thus, the ist February, 1732, according to the civil year, was the ist February, 1733, according to our (historical) reckoning, and it is often written ist February, 1732-3, or 173!, the last being the historical one. In parish registers the civil reckoning was usually adopted, and this must be remembered when dealing with entries from ist January to 25th March, before the year 1754.

NOTE FOR THE READER. Vli

It will be well to add that the letter "p" or "pauper" occurring in registers against some entries in the period 1783-96, merely indicates that they were exempted from pay- ment of the tax then levied on register entries.

The Council decided that no really useful purpose was served by printing the registers verbatim et literatim^ but that valuable space would be filled and progress delayed. Accordingly, mere verbiage has been omitted, and the following abbre- viations freely adopted, save when there seemed to be any special reason for giving the entries exactly as they stand :

b. ... bachelor.

sp. ... spinster.

wid. . . . widow.

widr. . . . widower.

p. ... parish.

.wit. . . . witnesses.

bap. ... baptized.

chr. ... christened.

mar. ... married.

bur. ... buried.

ch.w. ... churchwardens.

ux. ... uxor (wife).

A capital letter after "of" or

particular Register is being printed (thus "of A." = of Albrighton).

Thanks are due to the clergy, the custodians of the respective registers, for leave to print them, and for facilities afforded in transcription. Their names are mentioned in the respective registers.

The services of those who have transcribed and collated the registers are mentioned in the introductions, but the Editor desires to record again in this general note his and the subscribers' indebtedness to the Rev. W. G. D. Fletcher, who has collated for this volume five of the registers and transcribed one, Mr. T. R. Horton, who has transcribed three of the registers, Mr. W. Phillips, Mr. G. William S. Sparrow, and lastly to Miss E. T. Hope-Edwardes.

The Parish Register Abstract, published in 1831, contains the following account of these Registers : *' Battlefield P.C. No. I. Bap. Bur. 1663 1812. No. II. Marr. 1754 1812 ; " but this account, as will be seen, is both inaccurate and incomplete.

The Parish Registers, of Battlefield commence 24 Sept., 1663. The earliest Register is a paper-book, and extends from 1663 to 1747 ; it contains Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, and also a list of Churchwardens and Overseers from 1665 to 1687. The second volume is on parchment, and consists of a copy of the foregoing paper volume made in 1749 by Leonard Hotchkiss, Incumbent of Battlefield and Headmaster of Shrewsbury School ; it also contains Marriages from 1749 to 1753, and Baptisms and Burials from 1749 to 1812, in the handwriting of Leonard Hotchkiss, Beaumont Dixie, and Edward Williams, successively Incumbents. At the end of this volume are several terriers, statistics of population, and lists of curates and clerks ; also a tabulated statement of the annual number of Baptisms and Burials from 1663 to

1812. Vol. III. contains Banns and Marriages from 1754 to 1774, only 8 in number ; at the end is a tabulated statement of the annual number of Marriages from 1666 to 1812. Vol. IV. contains Marriages from 1814 to 1830, only 5 in number. The volumes in use now contain Baptisms from 1813, Burials from

1813, and Marriages from 1840, all to the present time. There is also in the Chest a volume of Churchwardens' and Poor Accounts, extending from 1772 to 1824. All the volumes are complete, and in good condition.

The most important entries in the Registers are those relating to the ancient family of Corbet, formerly of Albright Hussey in Battlefield parish, and afterwards of Sundorne Castle. Battlefield has always been a place of great interest to Salopians, on account of its historical relations, for here the battle of Shrewsbury was fought between King Henry IV. and Hotspur on 21 July, X403, and Battlefield Church and College were erected and founded by leave of the King. The history of the parish is given in the Shropshire Archaeo- logical Transactions, Second Series, vols. I. and X., and a fuller list of the Incumbents than that given in the Registers, with additional information about the Church, may be found in Fletcher's Battlefield Church, 1889. For the battle, Wylie's History of England under He7iry 1 V. , and Owen and Blakeway's History of Shrewsbury, should be consulted. A list of the Battlefield parochial records, both ecclesiastical and secular, is given in the •' Interim Report " of the County Council of Salop.

The Registers are printed by the kind permission of the Rev. Thomas Bain- bridge, B.A., the present Vicar of Battlefield, from a copy in the Shrewsbury Free Library made by Mr. William Phillips, F.L.S., and the proofs have been compared with the original Registers by the Rev. W. G. D. Fletcher, F.S.A.

The Parish Register Abstract 183 1 gives the following account of the Pitchford Registers :—Pitchford R. No. I. Bap. Bur. 1558—1779; Mar. 1558— 1753. No. II. Bap. Bur. 1780— 1812. Nos. III., IV. Mar. i754— 18 1 2. The same Registers are still existing. The earliest volume is a parchment book, and is in splendid condition. The entries for the first 40 years were copied from the old paper book, at the cost of the parish, in 1598, and each page is signed by Rowland Thasker, the Rector, and by Adam Browne and Tho. Madoxe, who were evidently Churchwardens in 1 598, when the copy was made. After 16 15, the Churchwardens do not sign every page. The Register is well written, and the entries are very plain, and all are m English, excepting that occasionally "vid." is written for "widow." Until 171 1 it is in Court hand. A few of the entries are inserted out of chrono- logical order.

In the year 17 19, an entry occurs as to the taking down of the gable end of the chancel, and the rebuilding of it, at the sole cost of Adam Ottley, Esq. Two pages, containing the entries for the years 1743 to 1746, are in a illiterate handwriting. From 1746 onwards, the entries are written by Adam Ottley, rector.

The most important items in the Register are those relating to the Ottley family, who are now represented by Colonel Cotes, of Pitchford Hall, and Lord Hawkesbury. Reference should be made to an interesting paper on the Ottley family, contributed by Lord Hawkesbury to the Shropshire Archaeolo- gical Society's Transactions, Second Series, Vol. VIII., pp. 361—380. Other important families entered in the Register are those of Sonford (or Sandford), Mainwaringe, Corfield, Wolrich, and Blakeway.

In this printed transcript the entries for 1558 are printed in full, the rest are abbreviated. At the beginning of each year from 1558 to 1598, "Anno Dni 15 . . , 25 die Martij " is written. This has not been printed here, nor the constant repetition of "Row : Thasker, rector, Adam Browne, Tho : Madoxe, Churchwardens," which also occur on every page of the Register during those years. But the names of the later Churchwardens who sign are here printed.

The second volume, which contains Baptisms and Burials from 1780 to 1812, consists of 12 leaves of parchment, and is in excellent condition. During Mr. Walcot's Incumbency the Register was rather badly kept, several burials being altogether omitted from the Register, and a number of entries from 1803 to 1807 not showing whether the persons were baptized or buried. Mr. Corfield, at first Curate and afterwards Rector, took a pride in the Registers, and supplied several missing entries. He also gave a detailed statement of the repairs effected at Pitchford Church in 1819; but alas he tells of a "large old Saxon window at the chancel" being removed, and replaced by "the present Gothic one," the cost of which he himself defrayed.

The third volume contains 36 marriages from 1756 to 1779, also one additional Banns, and is a paper book. The fourth volume contains 28 Marriages and 20 Banns from 1780 to 18 12, and is a parchment book. Four of these marriages are on scraps of paper pasted in, and were not filled up in the usual way on the ordinary printed forms. Both these volumes are in good condition.
