Author Description

Excerpt from The Registers of Almer, Co; Dorset, 1538-1812 Volume I is of parchment and bound in the same material, and measures 7% inches by 1054 inches. The Baptisms commence in 1538 and run to 1693, pages 1 to 30, where three pages are cut out. Marriages commence in 1538 to 1688, pages 31 to 44, where the bottom of the page is cut off. Burials commence 1538 to 1694, pages 45 to 68. From pages 69 to 71 the entries are mixed and extend from 1695 to about 1702. Pages 72 and 73 are blank, and it would seem 'that several pages are cut out here. Whether these pages contained the years 1702 to 1730 (which are now missing) it is impossible to say, very likely they did. Volume II is also of parchment, but is bound in calf. It measures 8 inches by 13% inches, and contains, pages 1 to 3, Marriages from 1731 to 1753 Baptisms, pages 19 to 44, from 1731 to 1791, continued on pages 4 to 14, from 1792 to 1812; the Burials, pages 45 to 62, from 1731 to 1803, continued on pages 17 and 18, from 1803 to 1812, continued on page 16 for remainder of 1812. Volume III is likewise of parchment, bound in calf, with a label on outside, lettered almer. It measures 10 inches by 13% inches, and contains, pages 1 to 13, Marriages, 1754 to 1811.
