About Rosemary Lockie's Extracts of Parish Records
Transcriptions by Rosemary Lockie and others © 1989 and onwards.
This page describes information identified as (typically) Surname XXX in YYY, ZZZshire,
included as part of Rosemary Lockie's Family History
collection. Ideally, you have arrived here by following a link entitled "About
this Information" on one of these pages. If you arrived here by some other means,
please review the list of Rosemary's Databases for available records.
This collection consists of a list of names and events from a very wide range of sources
which have been collected by myself and others for the purposes of our own interest,
and research. They do not represent complete extractions from any one source, nor
complete coverage of all records which may be available for a particular place or surname.
The Surname/Forename columns may contain additional information which may be of
two forms:-
- In the case of a marriage, the information relates to that person, and has
usually been obtained from the original source. Comparable Information relating
to their partner will be included under the Related to/Remarks columns.
- In the case of birth/baptism, or death/burial, the information is generally speaking
NOT in the original record, and is a note to myself of when that person may have
died, been married, or was born, or it may be a note of a lady's maiden surname
(such as née Goddard). Such notes reflect my opinions, and (literally) are not
carved in stone so do treat them with caution, as I'm sure you will.
Information under the table heading of "Source" consists of two parts.
The first two characters are an indication of the ORGINAL source of the data, and
abbreviations which may be used are as follows:-

[yes, it said this earlier too.]
We very much hope that you find something of interest here. However, as with any
transcript, or index, please use this data as a finding aid only, and NOT as a definitive
source. Whilst we will have made every effort to transcribe accurately from original
records, we do not claim to achieve 100% accuracy, nor can we promise to amend
errors brought to our attention as and when they are reported. The onus is therefore
on you to verify the information is an accurate reproduction of the original source.
