Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Registers of the Parish Church of Leeds: From 1639 to 1667 The present Volume gives all the entries in the fifth and sixth Books of the Leeds Parish Church Registers. The leaves of the fifth Book measure 14 x 9 inches, and of the sixth Book 14¿ x 9¿ inches, and both Books are of parchment. Edward Smith, who succeeded Richard Fletcher as Parish Clerk in 1629, has apparently written the entries in both Books. He was the Registrar up to the time of his death, in December, 1669, when he was succeeded by his son, John Smith (Thoresby´s Ducatus, p. 46). The month and year have again been placed in the margin. The Baptismal entries have been rearranged, and the Marriages in the sixth Book have been shortened, as shown on page 330. The period covered by the two Books (1639 to 1667) is one of special interest from a historical point of view. There are numerous entries connected with the Civil War and the Plague which followed. Attention is specially directed to the burials of officers and soldiers killed in the war, and of the persons who died of the plague, also to the notes written by the Clerk on passing events, and on the neglect of the curates of the chapelries to send in their returns.
