The volume now issued to subscribers is the first of a series of ’’BEDFORDSHIRE PARISH REGISTERS'* which the editor hopes will be continued until the whole county is covered,

Bedfordshire hss the unworthy distinction of being the only English county for which no registers have been published. Not only local students, but also those elsewhere working on families which had branches in Bedfordshire, find this deficiency a serious obstacle.

In 1890 Mr ,F.A .Blaydes published his pioneer work* "Genealogia Bedfordiensis , ” comprising register extracts concerning the gentry (1558-1700), but the material represents only about one hundredth of the total entries in registers before 1812; and this invaluable work is scarce.

Students of genealogy in its broad sense - embracing all historical and literary research requiring the basic facts of parish registers - now far outnumber personal investigators. Besides genealogy, the material embodied in registers is being increasingly recognised in the study of social and economic history.

In order to facilitate their study and to safeguard them from damp or loss, concentration in local record offices has been advocated for over a century. But the ’’Parochial Registers ... Measure, 1929”, which aimed at securing greater safety in order to Justify their retention by 15,000 parish custodians, has postponed the alleviation of the difficulties met with by the searcher, in costly journeys and lack of expert assistance. The publication of registers, easily accessible in libraries, is now therefore more imperative than before .

The post-war cost of printing renders this method of publication altogether prohibitive in a thinly-populated county. This stencilled volume is an attempt to supply complete , annotated and indexed registers to the necessarily limited number of subscribers at or below the cost of printed registers, as issued in two or three populous counties having many subscribers. It is the outcome of a tentative series of seven typescript registers issued last year to several subscribers as the result of a request made to the editor in 1929 (page ii). While stencilling has its obvious disadvantages as against printing, great care is taken to ensure that the format shall be as identical as possible with a printed register. The work of transcription is undertaken by the editor as far as 1700, and after that date by a competent assistant. The former is responsible for checking both MS. and typescript copies, and every care is taken to ensure accuracy.

In order to minimise the cost of production without sacrificing accuracy or completeness, the method (now generally used) of reducing the lengthy original entries into abridged common forms is adppted.

A new departure will be seen in the tabulation of entries in vertical columns, which facilitates the finding of a required surname on any page, and largely obviates the need for including Christian names in the index, thus decreasing its bulk and cost.

(l ) Such details relate to population, stability of families o Pupations .average

longevity, small-pox and other diseases. See the article by S. A. Peyton,

"Parish Records and what may be obtained from them” in Countryside as

Educator” (Bd.of Educn. , 1922.)

VI

BEDFORDSHIRE PARISH REGISTERS

The value of this series will be considerably enhanced by the material drawn from the contemporary Transcripts of Re isters.

These were normally sent each year to the bishop’s registrar , (hence their accepted name of '’Bishops' Transcripts ’ ) but in some parts (as in Bedfordshire) were transmitted to the archdeacon's office. The entire collection for this county, from 1602, among the earliest extant in England, was transferred to the County Record Oifice in 1922. and the annual bundles for 1602-17Z2 have since been re-arranged by parishes. Among the manifold difficulties and defects of original registers which are often overcome by the "Bishops* Transcripts" are (1) missing registers or leaves (page C12,21); (2) incomplete or mutilated entries; (5) illegible entries; (4) confused order; and (5) illiterate hands (page C4-7.) All registers will be carefully collated with the "Bishops* Transcripts" for 1602-1752, and those, of later date will be used to fill gaps in registers. For 48 (includ- ing the three in this volume) out of 126 Bedfordshire parishes, the earliest volume of the original register is not extant; in these cases the "Transcripts" form the sole registers. On the other hand 56 parishes possess registers commencing between 1558 and 1560.

The introductory note to each register will state what memoranda exist in each register, and these will be transcribed if of sufficient interest (e.g. page C4) . No bibliographical details as to binding, state of repair, etc. are included, as these are fully recorded in a comprehensive catalogue of Bedfordshire parish records, recently completed by the editor and a few colleagues. A note will describe the other pre-1812 parish records (such as overseers' and churchwardens accounts) as these may be used to supply additional details relating to parishioners. The three parishes now dealt with possess scarcely any other records, but the majority have numerous documents.

Each volume will contain about 200 pages, and include from one to five registers, according, to the size of the parishes, which will be adjacent as far as possible.

This volume comprises the registers of three parishes, each associated with John Bunyan at different periods of his life. Details are given in the introductory notes to the registers. The marriage register of St.John, Bedford (1700-55) is exceptionally valuable on account of the large number of "foreign marriages" recorded therein.

( E ) MARRIAGE ENTRIES

Before 1754, the residence of the parties is seldom stated.

If, however, the home parish is named, it is indicated herein by the initial letter, e.g. in the register of Elstow, "(E.)" denotes "of Elstow”.

After 1754, the statutory form of register states (1) the parish in which each party resided; (2) whether married by banns or licence; ( 2 ) whether bachelor or widower, spinster or widow.

In the transcript it is to be understood, unless otherwise stated, that all parties (1) belong to the home parish; {"2) are married by banns; and (3) are bachelors or spinsters.

ELS T 0 V/ 1602-1812.

ab the birthplace of John Bunyan in 1628 and of numerous members of the Bunyan family, the parish should have possessed a register of outstanding interest. The earliest volume of its register has however been missing for over a century; and our sole authorities for a num- ber of the genealogical facts relating to the author and his family are the Transcript Registers sent to the arch- deacon each year from. 1602 onwards.

These Transcripts have only recently been arranged into order, and their former state of confusion and dis- repair has doubtless been an obstacle to the publication of the complete Elstow register, the original volumes of which extend from 1641 only.

It is noteworthy that of the five justices of the peace before whom the civil marriages of 1654-58 were registered, three were leading members of the Bedford nonconformist church founded in 1650, namely, John Easton, senior, John Grewe and William YiThi thread , esquire (page A55). A reference to Robert Marshall, the intruded minis- ter of St. Jeter's, Bedford, occurs on the same page.

The population of the parish in 1801 was 475, and in 1921 was 412; its area is 1617 acres. There are no hamlets in the parish. The adjoining parishes are Bed- ford (St. Mary), Cardington, Y/i 1 shams te ad and Kempston.

The following "Bishops’ Transcripts" are extant for the period 1602 - 1640:-

Baptisms, Marriages cs Burials 1602-03, 1605-32, 1634-35, 1637-40.

	The original regis	ter is contained	in the follow-
ing	vol -jmes : -
Vol.	Baptisms	Marriages	Burial s
I.	1641 - 1777	1641 - 1754	1641 - 1777
II.		1754 - 1812
III.	1778 - 1812		1778 - 1812

There is also a Register of 3anns, 1^54 - 1852.

Mo record is therefore extant for the following years : -

Baptisms, Marriages & Burials.

I. In three separate sections: Bap. at the beginning, Mar. in the middle, and Bur. at the end. Eight marriages for 1662-65 are entered after those for 1724.

III. Bap. at the beginning: Bur. at the end.

Memoranda in Register.

In the front cover of the first volume are entered several notes relating to the parish clerks of Els tow. In a contemporary hand we read "John Sharpe was clar^e of Elves tow in the year 1569 - 53 years", to which is added "died 1642" in an early eighteenth century hand that also states: "Succeed- ed by Henry Ratchell, Clark of Els tow 60 years, who died 1701, and was succeeded by his grandson, Henry Ratchell." Another note dated Jan. 24th, 1749, refers to the same Henry as "the present dark" , but he died the following year. The tenure of office of these three clerks totals 161 years. To them should be added the temporary civil "register" appointed in 1653 (page A15). a further note of May, 1777, records the appointment of John Mob be "in the room of Thomas Sdth deceased"

Other Parish Records.

Els tow is one of the very few Bedfordshire parishes possessing no other parish records. Their dearth is attributed to destruction by a former parish clerk.

The editor is indebted to the Mi car, the Rev. S.V. Hartley, for permission to publish the register; also to Mr. L.H. Chambers of St. Albans for drawing attention to the following entry in the register of Hitchin, Hertfordshire : -

1614. June 11. Buried: Alice wife of Thomas Bunniam of El stowe.
