The original has been obliterated by ink, so that it is difficult to decipher, but someone has re-written what they could make out.
Vol. II. contains 15 leaves of parchment, including covers, and commences with the appointment of William Ownes as “Register,” 15th May, 1654. Births ate entered from 1646 to 1660; Baptisms, 1662 to 1722 ; Burials, 1659 to 1722; Marriages, 1654 to 1722 ; the leaves measure 11½ ins, by 7¼ ins.
It will be noticed from the above collations that there are no entries of Burials at Rotherby from 1643 to 1658 inclusive.
Vol. III., also of parchment, contains 13 leaves, measuring 14 ins. by 9 ins., written on one side only, and contains Marriages from 1723 to 1753; Baptisms and Burials from 1723 to 1795; the unused leaves have been cut away.
Vol. IV., the usual printed folio forms, contains Marriages only, 1757 to 1812, only a small portion being used.
These Marriages have been extracted by Mr. Thos. Randall, by permission of the Rev. E. A. Beresford, the Rector of Hoby with Rotherby.
