Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The First Book of the Marriage, Baptismal, and Burial Registers, of Ecclesfield Parish Church, Yorkshire, From 1558 to 1619: Also the Churchwardens' Accounts, From 1520 to 1546
HE object of the following work is to preserve from destruction the contents of a record which has hitherto been confined to an unique manuscript, the loss Of which would be irreparable.
The illustrative foot notes will show how valuable is the additional evidence to be drawn from wills, court rolls, and other like documents, in tracing pedigrees and the transfers of property. Moreover, in publishing early parochial registers, an authentic contribution is supplied to the history of a locality, and may assist the larger enquiry as to facts and personages, out of whom the story of a nation is formed.
