Note 1324 — Chapter X · RISE OF CIVIL MARRIAGE

The registration for the period of the act is very full in Hoveden, The Register Booke ... of the Cath. and Met. Church of Christe of Cant., 58, 59; Margerison, The Registers of the Parish Church of Calverly, II, 117-24; Stavert, The Parish Register of Burnsall-in-Craven, 87-104. In Phillimore's Gloustershire Parish Registers, I, 9, there are no entries for 1653-54 and for several years before, while they are relatively full thereafter. Bulwer's Parish Registers of St. Martin-cum-Gregory in the City of York, II, 78-87, have a full record both before and after 1660. The same is true of Cowper's Booke of Register of the Parish of St. Peter in Canterbury, 89-92, for the period 1640-60; while before 1640 there are fewer entries, and after 1660 a much less complete record. In Sanders's Registers of Eastham, Cheshire, 75-85, the record begins in 1654 after an interval of ten years; but his Registers of Bebington, County Chester, 129, show a blank for the years 1654-56. Radcliffe's Registers of St. Chad, Saddlworth, supplement, 450-53, 444-49; and the Register Booke of Inglebye iuxta Grenhow, 165-69, are full and very interesting. Compare the other registers named in Bibliographical Note X, showing a few entries each year.
