The baptisms and marriages are recorded in the Register in parallel columns—and in the transcription the marriages are placed month by month immediately after the baptisms. Where no marriages are recorded for the month, this fact is indicated.

The original spelling of surnames and place names is retained; but in the abridgement Christian names are modernised, except that some of a peculiar nature are given as they stand. In the first few pages of the Register the record of marriages is impaired by the outer edge of the page having been cut away. It should be kept in mind that prior to 1600 the year is reckoned from 25th March.
