Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Parish Registers in England: Also of the Registers of Scotland, Ireland, the East and West Indies, the Dissenters, and the Episcopal Chapels in and About London; With Observations on Bishops´ Transcripts, and the Provisions of the Act of the 52nd George III. Cap; 146 In 1812, when the last Bill for regulating these Records was passing through Parliament, the subject received great attention "out of the House;" since the passing of the Act, however, little has been said or done, and the anxiety previously shown, appears to have abated, under the idea that the Act had provided for every thing that was essential to the good keeping and preservation of these Records. It is to be regretted that the Act is defective in at least two material points. The one is, that it does not provide for sufficient particulars in the Entries, in order to prove (or lead to the proof of) identity and descent - The other, that although there is a provision for a Transcript of every Register to be annually deposited in the Bishops´ Archives, in order to guard against accidents, and detect forgery or interpolation in the original Register, yet there is no power given to compel such transmission. The perusal of the following pages will show that these defects are not inconsiderable but are such as require immediate amendment, in order that the Parish Registers of the Country may be made more useful, in affording information of the greatest importance to individuals, and in furnishing Government with the basis of calculations tending to promote the general good.
