Note 1329 — Chapter X · RISE OF CIVIL MARRIAGE

The most interesting published records of the period which I have seen are those contained in the Register Booke of Inglebye iuxta Grenhow (Canterbury, 1889), extending from March 13, 1654, to May 3, 1659. They are written in English. The next entry thereafter, without a word of comment on the change, is in Latin, as if appropriately to mark the return of the ancien régime. Extracts from various records will be found also in Burn, op. cit., 25, 26, 52, 54, 160 ff.; and of these several are reproduced by Friedberg, Eheschliessung, 327, 328. See also Reports of the Hist. Manuscripts Commission, V, 594 (Par. Registrar, Mendlesham, Suffolk, 1653-57); Notes and Queries, 2d series, III, 306, 307; 3d series, V, 526 (from Wilkinson's Hist. of the Parochial Church of Burnly, 1856); 3d series, I, 228; Gentleman's Magazine, LIV (1784), 8, giving a certificate of a marriage at Stratfield Saye, Southampton, October 2, 1654. It is printed in Jeaffreson, Brides and Bridals, II, 68, 69, note. Compare the registers cited in Bibliographical Note X.
