The Parish Registers and Parochial Documents in the Archdeaconry of Winchester Product No. IE5028 Published in 1909 by the Wykeham Press, The Parish Registers and Parochial Documents in the Archdeaconry of Winchester was edited by the then Archdeacon of Winchester, William Andrews Fearon, D.D., and the Curate of Burghclere, John Foster Williams, M.A. Containing some 204 printed pages, the title of this publication, as the authors themselves admit, is a little misleading. On the first count, this publication is, although fascinating, an inventory (ONLY - NO ACTUAL RECORDS) of the Hampshire parochial records held in the Archdeaconry of Winchester; and on the second count, the inventory (ONLY - NO ACTUAL RECORDS) conducted by Messrs Fearon and Williams ceases in 1812 for parish registers and 1800 for parochial records. Having said this, this fully-searchable CD-Rom republication had a lot to recommend it, not only for those interested in the available parish and parochial records for County Hampshire. The editors provide insights into the writers of the registers and also the general forms adopted in the three different categories of records kept: Christenings, Marriages & Burials. Regarding Christenings, the editors point the perfunctory nature of most records, barring those children from important local families and note that levels of literacy in parishes can be gleaned from the numbers of brides and grooms who were able to sign the Marriage Register. Of most interest are notes in parish Burial Registers, which often include ages, causes of death, character of the deceased, descriptions of their funerals and even local gossip. The Parish Registers and Parochial Documents in the Archdeaconry of Winchester must appeal to genealogists and historians in general with an interest in Hampshire, but the introduction is to be heartily recommended for the light it sheds on the uses and information that may be found parish and parochial records in general and more especially for those of Hampshire.  File Type Search Text CDs PDF YES 1 ISBN: 1-84630-181-5 More information Price: $14.00
