Original Document Heading:-
Copied by the Rev RG Bartelott MA [Note He was the vicar of St Georges Church Fordington between 1906 and 1936] Printed with the permission of the Rev SEV Filleul MA Rector;
The usual parchment Commonwealth Register 12 inches by 8 dating baptisms from 1653 - Burials and Marriages from 1654. The handwriting by the Parish Clerk is very illegible especially the
earlier part where spelling is apparently treated as a phonetic perquisite used
by the clerk to prevent anyone but himself from deciphering the entries: Vol 2 12 inches by 8: Vol 3 12 inches by 8 ½: Vol 4 15 inches by 9 ½ .
NOTES:-
1. Comments by the OPC are in [square brackets in italics ]– original comments by RG Bartelott are in (rounded brackets)
2. Readers are reminded that the year started on 25 March not 1st January until the year 1752
3. Checked against the IGI, any differences commented upon.
4. This transcription is valuable as it gives grooms and brides originating parishes where different from "AllSaints Dorchester" which are not given on the IGI
