MARRIAGES 1670-1812
Apart from adding all the years to the given dates what follows is (hopefully!) an exact transcription from the Somerset Record Society. All parentheses, comments etc are as in the original.
Volume I is a long narrow folio on vellum, bound in vellum, containing Baptisms, 1670 to 1768; Marriages, 1670 to 1752; Burials, 1670 to 1768. In good condition and well written. On a sheet of paper inserted at beginning of book:-“The Register Booke of Nynehead, Empt. apud Taunt'n, pet. 6s. 8d., Ano'. Dni'. 1670. Ro. Kingstone, Wm. Michaels, churchwardens; Richard Pearse, vicar, Ano' eod. Non est mortale quod opto Humanum est errare.” On first leaf of vellum:- “The Register Booke of Nynehead in The Two and Twentyeth year of the Rayne of our Sou'aigne Lord King Charles the Second, Defender of the ffayth. &c.” The Marriages commence in the middle of the book.
Volume II is the usual folio of printed forms, dated 1754, bound in sheep, containing Marriages and Banns, in good condition, written, especially in the Banns, very irregularly.
