"THE PARISH REGISTERS OF FARNBOROUGH, IN THE COUNTY OF KENT, From 1338 TO 1812."

EDITED BY

HENRY WILSON, M.A., F.S.A.

FARNBOROUGH LODGE, KENT.1904.

PREFACE.

        The Farnborough registers which begin in 1558 are contained, so far as they have been printed, in three volumes., The first volume consists of 92 parchment pages, bound in vellum, 143 inches by 6, containing the entries from 1558 to 1747. There is a blank from 1624 to 1660.

        The second volume has 168 parchment pages, 12: inches by 7, bound in rough calf. It has marriages from 1752 to 1791, christenings from 1749 to 1812, burials from 1752 to 1812, and beginning at the other end, marriages from 1792 to 1800.

        The third volume is of paper printed forms, 142 inches by 9:, bound in rough calf. It contains marriages from, 1793 to 1812. Only 11 pages are used, the rest are blank.

        After the above were printed and indexed, I found at the mother church of Chelsfield the Farnborough register from 1538 to 1557, and much of the interval between 1624 and 1660, though the later part was imperfect. These will be found on pages 152 to 163, and the index to them on pages 164 to 173.
