Phillimore's Marriages - Frolesworth 1538 to 1837

The Registers of Frolesworth contain 432 Marriages in the 300 years stretching from 1538 to 1837. The Registers themselves, though of so small a parish, comprise no less than ten volumes, as follows :—

Volume I. consists of 36 ½ leaves of parchment, measuring 14 by 6 inches, sewn together, but unbound. It contains Baptisms and Marriages from 1538 to 1722, and Burials from 1538 to 1678. From 1538 to 1665, the Marriages are kept distinct; afterwards, they are interpolated among the Baptisms. This is simply due to the fact that the part of the book originally allotted to Baptisms had become filled up.

The heading of the whole volume is as follows:—

The Regester of all Christings Marriages and burialls in Frolesworth beginning in the yeare of our Lord God 1538 in the 30 yeare of the most noble and Victorious Raigne of our most dreede and sovraigne Lord Lord Kinge Henrye the eight by the ‘grace of God Kinge of England France and Ireland defender of the faythe etc.”

Volume II. consists of 9½ leaves of parchment, measuring 13 by 7½ inches, and contains entries of Burials only, from 1679 to 1763.

Volume III. consists of 13½ leaves of parchment, measuring 13 by 4¾ inches, bound in parchment boards. It contains Baptisms from 1725 to 1783, and Marriages from 1725 to 1753.

Volume IV. contains Marriages alone (with banns when called) on printed forms, according to the Form required by Act of Parliament in 1753.

For eleven years, from 1784-1794 inclusive, the Marriages are entered upon loose leaves, each entry being stamped with a threepenny embossed stamp.

This is explained by the Act for registering Births, Christenings, Marriages, and Burials, which came into force on October 1st, 1783, an extract of which is placed in the book.

By this Act every such entry was to be made upon parchment or paper, stamped with three-penny stamp, unless a licence was obtained from three commissioners authorising the use of unstamped registers, when the duty was payable to the Receiver General.

The penalty for default was a fine of £5 for the parson, £5 also for any individual refusing to pay.

This Act was repealed in 1794, from which date the entries proceed as before.

The Marriages, Licences, and Certificates of Banns, signed by the Incumbents of other Parishes have also been preserved during the time of this Volume.

There are five briefs entered under date 1704-5, and five more on the flyleaf of the year 1756. There are accounts of others in old tithe books.

Volume V. contains Banns and Marriages from 1813 to 1837.

Volume VI. contains Burials from 1763 to 1783.

Volume VII. (loose leaves), consists of Baptisms and Burials from 1784 to 1794.

Volume VIII. has Baptisms and Burials from 1789 to 1812, the earlier ones in duplicate with Volume VII.

Volume IX., Baptisms from 1813 to present time.

Volume X., Burials from 1813 to present time.

These Marriages have been kindly copied for this Series by the Rector, the Rev. C. E. Boucher, and are now printed under his supervision.

Volume I.— 1538-1722.

Phillimore's Marriages - Thurnby cum Bushby 1564 to 1837

The Registers of Thurnby are remarkable for their early commencement, the first entry is, “The daye of the baptisme of the sonne of Thomas Atkin the 2nd daye of November 1538.” This is elaborate but unsatisfactory, in as much as the child’s name is omitted!

The Registers are in good order, generally speaking. The first Volume consists of 31 parchment leaves measuring 12½ in. to nearly 12 7/8 in. by nearly 5 5/8 in. bound in thick paper. The contents are Baptisms and Burials from 1538 to 1675; Marriages 1564 to 1672, early ones must have been omitted. There are no entries whatever for 1539, 1554-7, 1559-61 all inclusive. No Marriages are registered for 1570-2, 1578-80, 1582-4, 1588-90, 1592-4, 1605-6, 1624-6, 1673-80, 1686-9, 1696-7, 1708-11, 1722-4, 1748-9, 1774-5, 1793-9, 1813-4. This is a transcript of an earlier book to 1603. Entries are all classes mixed down to 1636 when Samson Davenport, vicar, began to classify them separately, first Baptisms and Marriages and, four pages later, Burials, but this was soon dropped. After 1642 entries are most erratic as to year until 1656, earlier and later years being mixed anyhow, the handwriting also varies greatly. The condition of the book, except for some pages stained and thumbed, and some small tears, is good. The writing is nearly all good, generally very good and legible except a few entries. Three leaves have apparently been cut out of middle of book (probably used for the annual “Register Bills “or Transcripts), but no gap in the entries occurs there.

Volume II. consists of 15 parchment leaves of irregular sizes, 12½ in. to 12 5/8 in. by 5¾ in. to 6¼ in. in paper binding matching Volume I. It contains all classes of entries from 1675 to 1722. There are no Marriage entries in 1673-80 inclusive.

On the first page of leaf 11 are six entries inverted, one is :—

“August 17, 1702. Joseph Veary of Bushby (a fanatic dissenter) did then inform me that his child which he calls Elizabeth was born the first day of June last.” There are two similar entries of other children of the same father, also burials of the two last, then the entry of birth of another son, Joseph.

This volume is inferior in every way to Volume I. It is badly kept in very various writing, generally bad, the later pages the worst of “parish-clerkly” script. Poor ink has caused many entries to fade, a few hopelessly. There must have been many omissions. One leaf is partly cut out, one page contains only three marriage entries. General condition is fair.

Volume III. All classes of entries classified, 1722-41. Nine parchment leaves about 14½ in. by 9 in. in parchment boards, in excellent condition. All entries are in the bold, clear writing of Jarvis Bradgate, vicar, and easy to read.

Volume IV. Mixed entries, all classes, 1744-75, so the records of three years are missing. No leaves appear to have been cut out at beginning, but six or more have been at end. Nine parchment leaves measuring 14¼ in. by 6 7/8 in. At end two odd leaves are loosely attached, one 13 5/8 in. by 5 7/8 in. the other about 12 5/8 in. by about 5¾ in. Binding, parchment boards. Writing mostly clear and good, and very legible. Condition quite good.

Volume V. Baptisms and Bnrials only, 1776-1812. Nine parchment leaves, three measure nearly 14 5/8 in. by 9¼ in., then four are sewn in, thicker and of different quality, two of which measure 12 7/8 in. by 9 1/8 in., one measures 11 in. by about 9 1/8 in., and the other 6 in. by 9 7/8 in., then two 14½ in. by 9¼ in. Five leaves contain Baptisms, four Burials which are at end, inverted. The Vicar, William Newton’s writing is “copperplate,” the rest mostly “parish clerk,” all legible. Stiff paper covers, good condition.

Volume VI. Marriages, 1757-1812. The usual printed forms.

Volume VII. Marriages, 1815-36. Gap of two years between

Volumes VI. and VII. Printed forms.

Volume VIII. Marriages, 1837 (none) to present time, on printed forms.

The Bishop’s Transcripts of the Thurnby Registers in the Archdeacons Registry, 29, Friar Lime, Leicester (those marked * are at Lincoln), exist for the following years :—1563-4, 1574-5, 1581-2-3-4, ,1604*, 1606*, 1607*, 1609*, 1612-13-17-21-22-26-29-32-34, 1636 38-60-67-72-74-75-77 to 87, 1693-95-99.

These abstracts have been made by Mr. E. K. Elliott, of Leicester, and the Vicar, the Rev. William Seaver, by whose permission they are here printed.

Herein T. means Thurnby ; B., Bushby.
