Kingsclere Parish Register Transcripts

This page is a temporary home for transcripts of the Parish Records of St Mary's Church in Kingsclere.

The Registers are large and this second release contains the 200 years between 1680 – 1880. These ranges have generated 12,000 baptisms, 7,400 burials and 2,500 marriages.

There are likely to be two types of errors in the transcriptions. There are the Transcribers personal errors and with no collaborators there was no chance these would be found. The second much larger group of errors are poor or feint handwriting in the registers. Often the Transcriber has been able to decode the writing but where this has failed or produced clearly incorrect transcriptions, the Transcriber has marked the entry with ’(?)’. This makes it easy to find the offending entries and so I would welcome any feedback where someone can decode the poor handwriting or my errors.

I can be contacted at this email address.
