The registers of Ratby have been the object of much misfortune. About the year 1735 the fine old Church of Ratby was partially destroyed by fire, and with it, we understand, the old records. Unfortunately, destruction did not end here, and the registers were again the victims of fire during the earlier part of last century. Practically nothing remains of the records of the Baptisms and Burials, prior to the year 1812, beyond a few charred fragments, and even the Burial Register from 1813 to 1853 shews signs of smoke discolouration.
The Banns and Marriage Registers combined, covering the period from 1754-1812, however, remain intact, and consist of two volumes, They are on the usual printed forms.
The above registers have been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, of Disley in Cheshire, with the permission of the Rev. G. E. Gilbanks, M.A., Vicar of Ratby.
It is with much pleasure that we are able to give the Marriages recorded from 1695-1710, taken from a pamphlet, edited by Mr. Henry Hartopp, of Leicester, and which we reproduce with his kind permission.
“The Parish Registers of Ratby, co. Leicester, 1695-1710.” Transcribed by Henry Hartopp.
We are indebted to the Rev. W. G. Dimock Fletcher, M.A., F.S.A., of Shrewsbury, for letting us publish some transcripts, in his possession, of the Ratby Parish Registers, for a short period not covered by the original records. The transcripts (10 in number) relate to the years 1695, 1697, 1699. and 1704 to 1710 inclusive, the entries for each year being on a separate strip of parchment, and those from 1704 to 1710 being signed by the incumbent and the churchwardens of Ratby and Groby. Ratby originally formed part of the ‘Peculiar’ or Manorial Court of Groby, being exempt from the jurisdiction of the Archdeacon of Leicester.
It then comprised the township of Groby and the small hamlets of Botcheston, Newtown Unthank or Little Newtown, and Whittington Grange. The existing Registers of the parish only date from 1774, the earlier ones having been accidently burnt, hence the value of these transcripts.
The Rev. Edward Stokes succeeded the Rev. John Coleman to the vicarage of Ratby-with.Groby in 1700, which he held until his preferment to the living of Willoughby Waterless in 1710. It will be observed that the transcripts relate chiefly to his time—in fact several of them are in his handwriting. Some of the families whose names frequently occur in the entries, such as Cramp, Cufflin, Freeman, Geary, and Jordan, are still represented in the parish and neighbourhood.
