Some odd notes can be found in the Registers. I am posting this purely out of interest so that everyone can see what sometimes happened. Top of page faint and hard to read, but I think Vicar DAVY'S was referring to these entries. Which do not make sense to me given that I am sure the entries are dated 1690-1692. Stokenham Marriage abt March 1690 John BENEDICT? and Mary ANGELL? Baptism 1692 August 2nd... Elizabeth daughter of John BENEDICT? and his wife Mary [could be May 9th] then.... I refused to grant certificate to the above entries as I consider them not [underlined] to be authentic entries. A. DAVYS Vicar of Stokenham March 12 1925 [yep, that's the date] Vicar then writes PS. They were not in the Book when I searched it for them myself in 1925: March [word under here I cannot make out] The same applies to the entry " Mary ANGELL " Baptised May 18 1672 Mr. William Adrian ALLERY, of London, was inadvertently in private [underlined] examination of the Register at the Vicarage here a few days previously to the appearance of these entries. I refused to grant him the certificates on the ground of there being forgerie's. [sic] Signed A. DAVYS Vicar Witness: W.J. MOORE Churchwarden W. PENGELLY, Churchwarden March 12 1925 Now, why would Mr. Allery of London be wanting a certificate from 1671 and 1690-1692? Bev Monkey business maybe
