For the format of dates in Registers prior to 1752, see notes on the Julian Calendar

There are two sets of source registers which overlap in dates, both apparently Parish Registers rather than Bishop's Transcripts. The first series has registers for 1813-1828, 1828-1854 and 1854-1868. The second series contains registers for 1850-1862 and 1862-1875. Registers continue without overlaps from 1875 onwards. Where two sources exist for the same dates they have been combined in this transcription. Mostly they contain the same entries, but the 1850-1862 register which appears to have started as a copy register contains dates of birth which are not present in the main register.
